The World Tomorrow: President Rafael Correa and Julian Assange

In this weeks episode, President Rafael Correa of Ecuador discusses with Julian whether it's always the case of good media vs corrupt government, and examines his country's relationship with the United States.
Discussion opens with the circumstances surrounding the attempted coup de tat in Ecuador in 2010, during which the president was taken hostage. From there this weeks interview moves on to the key relationships between media, money and the interests of the United states that are at play in Ecuador. Following the coup attempt, Correa embarked on a furious and controversial counter offensive on Ecuador's media. He attributes the media's influence over the events of 2010 to the vested interests of corporate power and its control of Ecuador's media, now explosively claiming corporate owners of the media "disguised as journalists, are trying to do politics, to destabilise our governments so that no change takes place in our region, for fear of losing the power they have always flaunted".

I don't get tired of watching this.

[boris morris]

why should he have too, see Julian is Australian and doesnt think like an american. he feels people should speak in what ever language they are most comfortable with so they can be more open and honest and not say they are taken out of context or something because of the language difference. makes for a better interview but if your illiterate and cant read subtitles, then you are fucked.

As an Australian I'm disappointed at the lack of support the government has given you. As the child of A Chilean who came to Australia fleeing the Pinochet regime I'm proud that Latin America have stepped up to the plate. Jury is still out on Rafa but best not get stuck into the battlefield of Latin politics. On a sided note Assange, you are ridiculously hot. That is all.

He didn't have a choice. While in the UK, because of bail, he had a very last chance of going into an embassy. If he got to Sweden, he was done for.
