Even the footnotes are great- this is quite apt:
[10] In his widely discussed 1978 Harvard address Alexander Solzhenitsyn noted that “the press has become the greatest power within the Western countries, exceeding that of legislation, the executive and the judiciary”. This may have been one of the reasons why he was never praised for this address in the West, in particular by the media and by the academic world. It was regarded as criticism of the West and this is something that no one from the East may dare to do. However, it was a criticism of the negative aspects of Western civilisation.
Funny how liberal western media and academia can criticize and tell everyone else how live but are so thin skinned when it comes to someone daring to critique and dissect their world views!!
