Here's what Soto had to say about his repeating the same info over and over again in his stories. He appears to want to shift the blame to Acosta but I happen to know that Soto does quite a few stories for ENN, The Environmental New Network and it is my belief that after reading numerous articles written by him and knowing his views on "stories with a "purpose"" that he is doing this to hurt Ecuadors economy, chase out mining investment and other agendas. I have done lots of research on him and this is my conclusion. The two of them may be in cahoots "....But back to the present issue. After the news came out yesterday afternoon I spoke with Alonso Soto, the Reuters reporter who broke the story. Before continuing, I’d like to point out that this is not the first time I have spoken to Alonso Soto. We have had several phone conversations in the last few months about the developing story in the Ecuador mining and energy sectors, as well as more general discussions on the political scene in the country. I have always found him open and honest, and although we have never met face to face we have a friendly telephone relationship. I believe him to be a good reporter who does his job well. So be it. In our phone conversation yesterday, Soto gave me a bit more background on the story that hit the wires. When I mentioned to him that most of the damning content was not exactly new (e.g. Alberto Acosta has already voiced his opposition to open-pit mining), he told me that ex-minister Acosta (more about him in a moment) was very keen on mentioning and reiterating his views on mining. The comments came as part of a wide-ranging interview, but Soto said that Acosta spoke primarily, repeatedly and very strongly against the nascent mining industry. It was a story that had to be reported. The bottom line is that Acosta wanted a story to hit the wires, and if it hadn’t come out yesterday it wouldn’t have been long in coming anyway. Don’t kill the messenger."
