1. What type of media bias is illustrated in this excerpt?

2. Why do you think the drug war crisis in Mexico is largely ignored, whereas some stories (the crisis in Syria, the firing of FBI Director James Comey) receive multiple and on-going reports?

3. The IISS report also included the conflict in Central America. Were you aware of the conflict in Central America?

4. Why are the conflicts in Mexico and Central America newsworthy to Americans? (Even more so than the horrific war in Syria?)
