Media Hysteria? Canada vs Mexico

April 19, 2007 | Tags: Crime, News |

Hagen with BulletIt’s starting to take on the feeling of a trade war or a World Cup match (if Canada was ever competitive in World Cup soccer).

Yet another story (see my article from March 30) with a lurid headline about a Canadian victim of crime in Mexico: Gunned down in Mexico, Local Man Shot Three Times; Lives to Tell Harrowing Story.

Although I do note that this story was actually in the The Star Phoenix rather than in the Canadian Media.  Although maybe the Canadian media just hasn’t picked up on it yet.

There’s starting to be some anger on the boards from people living in Mexico about how their home is being portrayed. While they would no doubt agree that crime and the justice system in Mexico are problems, that seems to be the only thing that is reported, giving gringos a very warped view of Mexico.
