Scary story

Story of a Mexican journalist that fled to the US recently. It's interesting to get the inside story on what's really happening in Mexico:

I have never read a better narrative of the situation.

 

Makes for a nice novel. As a piece of reporting, it is garbage.

 

:lol:

Inflammatory nonsense.

 

I agree...that article reads like a bad novel.

Here's a video about the drug cartel violence which is much better:

The reality is the proof.

That is akin to taking an article about gang wars in LA and applying the situation to the rest of the USA. The reality is that most of us are not affected one iota by the drug trade, turf wars or the recent increase in troops in border towns. An article from Yahoo does not lend any support to the veracity of the initial article, which was based on "he said" and "he heard" accounts.

 

Isn't it possible that all of these articles are true?

I am surprised that some of you do not believe the tradtionally liberal viewpoints of the Mother Jones article.

Please tell me there is some movement to the right going on. Jaja.

You know who I am talking about RG.
