Mexico, A Failed Country: Media Blackout?

In the last day or two another two dozen (24 or more for you leftists out there) bodies have been found murdered in Juarez, Mexico (across the Rio Grande--less than 5 miles--from where I am typing this in El Paso). Eight Juarez police officers have been killed already this week. It is only Tuesday.


Yes, the drug cartel violence in Mexico is totally out of control. Almost 1600 people have been murdered this year in Juarez, and it is so bad that the morning radio report in El Paso (where this is daily news, while the contemptible, useless national media ignores it) is that the violence has escalated to the point that they may have lost count of the victims. The news along the rest of the Mexican border with the U.S. is no better (for example, Tijuana).


The further news in El Paso this morning was that Chihuahua license plates were much more prevalent in the U.S. as people in Juarez look for safer places to shop (just to shop?).


Mexico is a failed country, and it makes border security (and control of illegal immigration) essential for this country. Except for the economy (and illegal immigrants take American jobs), there is probably no bigger problem we face.


Yet, there has been a virtual blackout on the terrible news from Mexico in our national media--even as it is daily news in El Paso. This merely proves again that the national media no longer reports "news", but only what fits into its own agenda (as it has ignored the evidence that "gloal warming" has stopped).


Remember when the Anti-American, Despicable Associated Press (to use the complete, official name) reported every violent death in Iraq. Nope. I am not talking about American deaths. I am talking about Iraqi deaths. Remember when the Associated Press kept presenting stories from Zimbabwe--at least a weekly, and sometimes almost daily--report of the progress of the election there? Remember when the despicable, anti-American AP had a story (documented in this blog) for some 14 consecutive days on Blackwater (that American contractor in Iraq accused of killing a lesser number of Iraqis than the number of Mexicans who have died this week in Juarez--pretty much a one day story, sideshow of the Iraq War unless you are the anti-American AP)? Yet you never see an AP story on the daily violence in Mexico (more important than Zimbabwe, or than Blackwater ever was--even arguably more important than Iraqi civilian deaths caused by the non-Blackwater, terrorist violence there).


Nope. The mainstream media in this country is beneath contempt. "Contempt" is an inadequate word for my feeling about "journalists" in this country. Yes, this does apply to Fox News, although I admit I have seen a story or two about the Mexican violeance on Fox News--hardly the kind of coverage it deserves. I can remember no more than one radio "news" (a joke, even for the Fox News hourly radio reports) report on the subject in the entire last year.

As I said, the problem in Mexico is accelerating, according to El Paso news. When will it start receiving national attention? Will it have to wait until the violence spreads to the U.S. (which, with isolated exceptions, it has not yet done)? I think that the mainstream media is so beneath contempt that this is so. They are going to have to be dragged, kicking and screaming, to cover this story.

Yep. That is because of their agenda. Yes, it is a pro-illegal immigration agenda. However, it is also an anti-American agenda that basically resists saying anything bad about foreign coutnies--especially foreign countries in favor with the media. It is an agenda that says that it is "politically incorrect to suggest that the Latinos in Mexico have lost control of their country (which does not mean that Hispanics are bad people, but does mean that Mexico is a failed system and a failed country).


Well, you get the truth from this blog, even if I could wish more people read it. You people who do read this blog will not be surprised when this situation on the Mexican border explodes into the U.S.
