Do you think the WH has a problem with the accuracy of the news reports, or do you think they care more about silencing criticism? I'm also curious to know your thoughts on how the Executive Branch and Press relations look like in South American countries, it looks like in Bolivia things aren't as bad as they are in Ecuador [1][2]. Evo is on his way to being in power until 2020, Correa doesn't look like he'll let up (after inheriting Venezuela from Chavez), and Maduro is supervising the collapse of his country. Like Trump, these so called leaders have promised "el pueblo" (i.e. the people, aka the forgotten man etc...) change. He is clearly showing the same tendencies of opinion repression that allow a permanent hold on power (for his benefit really, not of the people who were swindled). Are some of us too worried about the eery parallels?
