Well, there aren't any American soldiers deployed to Mexico, so there's no way to make any news about Americans dying because of reckless, interventionist America acting as the world's police force.

What did I miss? I keep hearing about bombings in Iraq, I only hear a few things about mass murders in Mexico. What's happening over there?

The breakdown of any ability to enforce the law due to systemic corruption, mainly. The cops got bought off, so they used the army for a decade, but the army's been bought off, so now they're down to using their navy for the critical tasks and a lot of praying that the army unit they sent in for xyz is reasonably honest.

Oh ffs. I knew it was bad, but I did not know it had degraded to that point. It's very strange though, you'd dthink you hear more about a country that is becoming an anarchy.

Only if the people who tell you stuff want you to know about it. Reporting on Mexico must not serve the news media's interests right now, or at least not be a priority.

It doesn't sell, because the consumers do not care. Just like Africa, Asia, South America...

Maybe everyone is an idoit, and no one should listen to anyone else.

Snarky comments aside, I think the video illustrates part of the problem with the ordeal in question quite well.
