Wonderful. Business information serves a specific tiny segment of society. Suzuki plans new plant in Tijuana. Yawn. SecGob meets with Chinese Trade Representative (snark).
Accurate news is hard to come by as 99% of it comes incredibly filtered and tinted through the Mexican government. The back page of Mexican newspapers is full of crime reports, but it is all low level stuff. The kind of crime that avoids getting the editor beheaded and reporters boiled in a vat of acid.
The great problem is Mexican society itself. It has had centuries of experience to train and gain superlative expertise in the art of Machiavellian plots and conspiratorial finger pointing. In short, believe .00000000001% of what you read about important social and crime issues.
The government is about as transparent as lead and less honest than that guy who wants to ship you seven tons of gold from Nigeria.
