The news from Mexico’s “war on drugs” just keeps getting worse and worse. Now along with the beheadings, regular kidnappings, and other attacks, comes attacks on the media:

Editors at Televisa, the world’s most popular Spanish language network, were having a lively news meeting in the northern Mexican city of Monterrey when they heard a series of pops followed by a thunderous explosion. Running outside, the editors realized the top breaking news item had come straight to them. The pops were bullets sprayed from Kalashnikov automatic rifles directly into the facade of their offices. The blast was from a fragmentation grenade. Next to the debris was a message scrawled onto cardboard. “Stop just broadcasting us. Also broadcast the narco politicians,” it said.

Considering that Mexico already stands as one of the most dangerous countries for media to work in, it’s a little frightening to think that even mainstream media is being targeted. As of now, I have not found an English translation of a response from Calderon on these attacks–if his response is anything like it in the past–it will equal out to some growling and thumping on the chest before he goes back to sleep.
