“Readers of the American and British press have been inundated with righteous condemnations of Ecuador’s poor record on press freedoms. Is this because western media outlets have suddenly developed a new-found devotion to defending civil liberties in Latin America? Please. I would take more seriously all of this very inspirational, newfound worry about Ecuadorian press freedoms and Russian free speech rights if they evinced any similar interest in infringements and abuses by their own governments and their allies: ones much more difficult, though much more consequential, to oppose.”
