Published on May 22, 2012

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 didn't know anything about Rafael until a week or so ago, when he decided to take a stand for Julian. I am now convinced he is one of the greatest leaders of our time, a leader who actually believes in honesty, transparency and doing what is right for his people. He isn't afraid to take a strong stand against those who do wrong by him, his country and, as seen by granting asylum to Mr. Assange, even foreigners who are being unfairly persecuted.

    Ecuador, Mr. Correa, as an Aussie I salute you.

    1.- Osea que debes salir del pais para aprender otro idioma? Que cerrada que tienes la mente.

    2.- Yo vi el video y lo vi hablar en Ingles, en cambio tu solo vinistes a responder a comentarios y seguramente ni vistes el video.

    3.- Obvio que esta bien escrito, lo mencione porque reclamas que alguien habla en Ingles, sin embargo tambien andas comentado en Ingles, la diferencia y que lo unico que sabes es Dog, Cat y House.

    4.- Troll de internet.
