Mexican journalists are the definition of true warriors, very brave and selfless people that report crimes and corruption , deadliest country on earth for them
But what are they reporting it for? Their fellow Mexicans dont give a damn. Crime and beastlike cruelty is no scandal for them, its entertainment. Their ancestors are the Aztecs who tortured humans to death just sothat the sun goes up everyday.

@Dinokale that blogger isn’t a journalist he is a danger to all journalists wtf he falsely claimed man controlled 2 of the anonymous pages and was killed after that false accusation
The fact that he say "If i die, i want the people to know that i was not involved in crime but instead i died as a result of reporting the news or being a reporter", it indicates he has contemplated his own and is worried about the perception that might arise after his death.

From planning on dissolving the National institution of elections, to focusing on non eco-friendly energy sources like petrol (stopping development of green energy around the country) and destroying the Jungle to build a stupid train nobody needs. Really a joke of a president.
AND ALSO THE USA IS PART OF THE DRUG PROBLEM THEY ARE THE BUYERS. EVEN THOUGH SOME GET A LEGAL PRESCRIPTION FOR HARDCORE ADDICTED DRUGS THE DEMAND IS NO LESS
I love the honest integrity that Vice gives their stories. I really feel badly for the reporters in Mexico and I applaud their bravery. It is obvious to me that the shadow reporters whom I don't consider reporters at all, are the police officers supposedly investigating because it seems like they're the only ones who can get that close to take such graphic pictures and have such detailed information.
But let's say it is police which only matters if they are telling the truth or if they are corrupted. If they are reporting the truth then that's best for the journalists. If it's corrupted then a cartel is paying them to spread lies.
There is something especially disgusting about corrupt politicians. You have been chosen by the people to represent and serve them in a prestigious, well-compensated position. And what do they do? They betray this trust. Makes my skin crawl.
That's thier job. If they don't uphold the narrative they can't get elected. Every government, allows and welcomes this sort of activity. Think about it.... prisons, more laws, more technology etc. This is great for people who are in power
Bro the USA Has a knee on every president South of the border. look at the coup we orchestrated in Bolivia over something petty-lithium, CUBA, AND our countless attempts to destabilize Venezuela including sanctions which hurt the poorest.
This journalist asked such an open ended question to a highly complex issue that has been embedded for generations. You ask an open ended question, you will get an open ended response. He could just point to the million and one things they are doing to help protect the free press in Mexico. One of which was able to attend a daily 7am press conference with the president - Monday through Friday all year round. You can't get this opportunity any where else in the world - the shows how important free press is in Mexico and the current president. Good luck ever getting that with Biden or Trump on a daily basis.

I live in Tijuana and I want to congratulate whoever makes these documentaries, I can confirm that the story is very well told and what is experienced here is well portrayed.
Mexico has a more extreme version of the same problem that Russia has. The people don't speak out or talk bad against power because they don't want to be targeted by corrupt officials that have ties to cartels. At this point cartels are so entrenched into the culture and communities that they are apart of mexican identity. Only way the problem can be solved is to legalize and regulate drugs.
''Only way the problem can be solved is to legalize and regulate drugs.'', thats only going to put a dent to the problem, drugs isnt even their main income anymore
@@bobeli7434 that's the type of in fighting for smaller amount of resources that will lead to it's fall . Cartels and organizations don't just disappear. They go through a gradual tumultuous decline as those who are used to having alot of resources , fight and claw for the few resources left.
It's gotta be the cops. The narcos get hurt, the journalists get hurt, and there's a retired cop going around to draw the ire of both parties towards each other. It's gotta be the cops.
Facts! You can’t even trust your local cops. They be playing both sides. Not ALL but you just can’t risk being out doing all that…but there are those who do it knowing the consequences. Sad for MX at the moment. Hopefully ONE DAY all this will end.
When Vice does an international news stories they receive a standing ovation. When Vice does a news story in their home country they get called biased and partisan
If you’re gonna do Journalism…don’t call yourself “News”. Simple as that. Not sure where you’ve been lately…but their “home country” has a MAJOR issue of division and false/inaccurate information used to dramatize political rhetoric, and create divides within the population. Picking a side…even the “virtuous” side…is perpetuating a system used to suppress and control people. (FYI: I pretty much side with everything VICE on most things they report on. I’d just like to see them so it while being UN-refutable. Being refutable only garners traction for your “opposition”.
The Vice pieces focusing on America usually are biased and partisan. And a lot of the international ones too. There is a huge difference between the Vice of old and the Vice of today. That difference? Same as everything else: corporatism and shutting down whatever doesn't go with the mainstream narrative. We live in an age where one must decode what the various media platforms are reporting in order to have any sense of what's really going on. I'm fearful of the future and what's in store for my 5 year old. Or maybe I'm a loony lefty bleeding heart conspiracy theorist.
@@znismo1 They said nothing about believing them 100%, so why call them ignorant, friend? Can you tell me how you see them biased? Maybe give some examples or something? I'm not arguing against you, I'd just like to see it from your point of view.
I came from Mexico to the US at around 8 years old and my parents and brothers tell me all these beautiful stories about Mexico and how amazing it was. Unfortunately all I see now is how dangerous the country is how corrupt it has become. It sucks that I’ll never be able to live those memories my parents and brothers had since you’re always at risk of being involved in a crime.
Huge respect for the Mexican journalists putting their lives on the line literally. They continue to report and live there and can't just report and leave like vice does.
I wonder if any cartel members watch these videos and realize that all these dead bodies won’t amount to them getting as much money as the old men who control them.
Most of the people that choose to work for a cartel is looking for a few days living as richs, instead of a life of poverty... Regardless the consecuences
@@rafaelmendoza9135 they need to change up their morals bc them subjugating themselves, their families and their fellow countrymen to all this violence they help create is not fair and should be punished one way or another.
I remember when I was a child growing up in the 90’s when my parents would take my sister and I to Mexico for vacation and we would visit family, go to the beach, theaters, go out at night to festivals, etc etc and just have fun without any worry of cartels shooting and killing people. Don’t get me wrong there were still cartels back then but they had at least some form of dignity as far as the cartels of this generation. By no means am I defending what they represent, but in terms of ruthless meaningless assassinations, they only did that to each other in the 90’s. These new cartel members have no souls, no respect for human life no type of code of honor. It’s so sad I may never be able to take my children to visit the places I used to visit as a child so they can see where our roots come from. Maybe one day Mexico will be at peace again, but not anytime soon I’m afraid😞
And it's the same thing with gang culture in the inner cities of the US. We used to be safe in our neighborhoods and not worry that gang members were going to shoot and kill us for no reason. These new folks? They don't care. They kill anyone no code of honor anymore.
I also remember that Mexico of the 1990’s…. Yes they were a lot of issues, but whatever issues Mexico had in 95, Mexico has in 2022 plus senseless and unpunished violence
I think this brutality is caused by the decentralization of the Narcos. As you say in the 90´s basically a few big cartels did dominate and control everything, so within that territory no gang violence, no shootings, nothing, because its under the control of one big Cartel. Unfortunately today things got a lot more complicated...
Bro Mexico is safe , just don't be involved in anything or be out at night. You're missing out. I was born in Mexico and live in the u.s but came back to visit and been here peacefully with no issues. Yes things happen but to people involved in things they not suppose to be in.
As a Mexican born citizen, I am ashamed of having AMLO as a president of my country; nothing has changed in the country for the well being of the nation
Freedom of speech is never just about speaking. Most people in wealthy western countries has no idea how lucky they are and what privilege they are actually loosing with all the state driven control efforts happening left and right nowadays.

My heart bleeds for Mexico. Big love for the courageous Mexican people putting their lives on the line trying to make light of the criminality disfiguring their beautiful country. Journalists are not snitches.
This is one of the same tactics that the PRI used when they ruled from the 20’s to all the way up to 2000. Instead of actually repressing the press or people who disagree of their government, they would just get people to mock them, humiliate them, disappear them, and it’s so subtle because it isn’t like Venezuela. But this new government is just like the PRI, only difference is that it isn’t a one party state, more like mesh that is so complicated. But Mexico does have some of its fundamental Democratic systems right now, and the independent press getting killed is just tarnishing this young democracy. Hope small independent journalists, independent judges, officers, community leaders, transparency organizations, and others can hold on against this tyranny.
@@zvrdoz4988 It will most likely never end but there’s ways to lessen the damage done. There will always be corruption where there’s money/power. Greed is an innate characteristic of animals.
Man this reminds me of the movie Nightcrawler, except this is real life and a real selfless reporter driving through the thick mist of danger and uncertainty everynight just to shine light on henious crimes being committed in the shade of moon. I cannot fathom how much courage it takes to put your life on the line and chase these stories knowing well that you might end up being the victim in a crime story.
I live in Tijuana, the colony where I live is pretty peaceful, almost never experienced any violent events and I can go outside with no problems at all, 2:31 When I started working in Camino Verde during my High School years it was like stepping in another country, constantly getting news of shootings, murders and in one ocassion witnessing a freshly killed body in front of a school, and noneone seemed fazed, since it was normal for them to witness such things.
This is a news story about human rights being violated and being being killed. Not exactly appropriate place for your “LOOK AT ME” comment. Beg for attention elsewhere, kiddo. You’re being EXTREMELY dismissive.
True. The Tijuana problem is a US problem. If US healthcare worked, there wouldn't be so many drug addicts to sell to. If drugs were legal, gangs would have no way to profit from them.
There’s no argument anymore…society has written it off. “It will hurt some people” just doesn’t fly anymore. Strobe lights can “hurt some people”. They haven’t banned Johnny Quido from having his New Jersey dance party light show. There’s strobe lights all over some rides at Disneyland. They’re serving up things that could possibly kill certain people that can’t handle it…just like Cartels are.
I live in one of the states mentioned in this excellent report. A general understanding is that, in Mexico, only 1% of homicides are solved. My best wishes to all journalists in the world.
I can't imagine that the person that the VICE reporter was talking too was proud that an innocent man died because of a misunderstanding. The person, from what I understood, meant that they did their work so "well" to annoy the cartel(s) that they, the cartel(s), have people they think are connected to these anonyms Facebook pages killed. I mean it has to show that what they are doing is getting on these cartel(s) nerves. Im very sorry for the loss of human life and that innocent people are suffering because of a horrible government. My Condolences goes to everyone affected by these horrific crimes.
I don't know how you VICE guys get recruited, but you are one of the bravest people ever. From going to the mountains of Sinaloa, then going to Michoacan's frontline, then interviewing Wagner in Central African Republic...
Well I’m in serious fear for this segments host because feels like everyone who questions the Mexican president is shitted on and Ultimately killed might not because he’s an American citizen
That’s a couple miles from San Diego. I always heard that it’s been rough lately in Baja California. However, it’s reached a peak compared to other cities in México. As someone who has family in Baja California I always feel worried because some cartels have no remorse. Men, women, or kids… They don’t care. Thanks once again VICE. You guys are the best!
@@arturogomeztagle9748 He was talking about a world with no politicians. Which is...you know what it is. But as to what you said. A lot of it will, yeah. But they'll just move into other rackets. People smuggling, goods smuggling, counterfeiting, fraud, embezzlement, various types of asset skimming etc. Where there's a shister, there's a way. And in Mexico there are entire armies of shister cut-throats who aren't just going to pack up and go home just because drugs are legal. That said. It would still make a difference to the levels of violence, I think.
Excuse me but this is misleading. Up until 11:30 it is just violence from the cartels against journalists and then suddenly, there is a cut to a press conference held by the president of Mexico, some criticism about him not being cordial with the press, the mention that journalist murders have gone up during his time and then some staff about being harassed online by trolls. I mean cool... If those were separate we could discuss. But this is a deliberate effort to confuse viewers into thinkling that the President of Mexico is involved into the killing of journalists or in league with the Cartels. Of course, the "documentary" itself throws this out the window on the next scene where it mentions that the government actually protects some journalists... I get it that the Vice journalist got mad because he was harassed by supporters of the president but honestly, this is not worse than Trump supporters reacting to reporters pressing their guy. Saying that the President doesn't like journalists and that his supporters talk crap to them is one thing, implying that he is involved into the killing of journalists is something entirely different.
Remember that there is good within humanity, even in a world as torn as the one you may be living in or that you perceive and experience. For all the evil in this world, there is still ultimately light. God reigns over reality and no matter how fallen this world may be, in the end, the light of God and Christ is what will make things ultimately better and the Lord will be He who heals the brokenness of your heartbroken and saddened soul. Don't give up or lose faith in the goodness of God or the humanity of which He created, there is still light even in the blackest of nights from the glow of the stars which will forever shine upon us in this fallen and broken world. As long as the good people in this world, likely meaning good people such as yourself, fight and continue to persevere in spite of the terrors of the wicked, goodness and love will remain a part of this fractured world and it only takes a little bit of light to expel a lot of darkness my friend
I've said this a hundred times on these videos, i'll say it again; you are some of the best journos out there. I don't know much about journalism but your channel has some of the best of it.
I feel like it's the police running these anonymous FB pages or there's a person or person's running these anonymous pages and the "sources" are the authorities.
Why wouldn’t they? In 1980, Blancornelas and Félix and Francisco Ortiz Franco co-founded the weekly magazine Zeta. Through the magazine, the pair continued their investigation into organized crime and corruption. Hector Félix Miranda contributed a column titled "A Little of Something", in which he satirized and criticized government officials, particularly those of the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He particularly targeted Jorge Hank Rhon, son of a former Mexico City mayor and the owner of a Tijuana racetrack. Hector “El Gato Félix” Miranda was assassinated on April 20, 1988, when a car cut in front of him in traffic; another vehicle pulled alongside, and Félix was hit with multiple shotgun blasts. Jesús Blancornelas, Félix Miranda's writing partner, continued his aggressive writing style and published more articles on the Tijuana Cartel and on the drug trade than many other Mexican newspapers. In response to the death of his colleague, Blancornelas issued an ad pressuring the Baja California that read the following, "Jorge Hank Rhon: Why did your bodyguards assassinate me?" in reference to the death of Félix Miranda. In November 1996, Blancornelas was planning to visit New York City to receive an international award for his work in covering the drug trade, political corruption, and the relationship between the drug lords and the police. A few days before he was about to fly, a policeman in Tijuana visited Blancornelas and warned him that he was risking his life if he decided to go. A year later, the warning proved to be true: in 1997 in Tijuana, Blancornelas was ambushed and wounded by gunmen of the Tijuana Cartel while heading to the airport for publishing a photo of the drug lord Ramón Arellano Félix. Blancornelas was nearly killed when the attackers opened fire on his car, wounding him in the abdomen and killing his driver and bodyguard, Luis Valero Elizalde, who died protecting him and managed to kill one of the shooters. Blancornelas suffered complications from the injury for the rest of his life. In the attack, Blancornelas' car was hit more than 180 times, but only four bullets penetrated the journalist's body. Elizalde, however, was hit 38 times. That same year, three other prominent journalists were killed in Mexico. A lot of people don’t know this, but Jesús Blancornelas assassination attempt was also in the last season of Narcos Mexico. Also I recommend a lot of you noobz listen to El Gato Felix corrido by Los Tigres Del Norte. The Zeta magazine was resulting in numerous threats and attacks against its staff, while Ortiz was assassinated in 2004, apparently for his coverage of the Tijuana Cartel.
Excellent report, thanks for showing this horrible reality so that the Mexican government can be called upon to protect journalists. I am a Mexican living in Europe and I have not been able to return to my country because of how things are in the country, it pains me so much to see how things do not change with the current president who has turned out worse than all the previous ones, Mexico has become a lawless place.
VICE team, if you do a report similar to the interview with the CJNG commander, go to Tamaulipas in Reynosa, Matamoros or Nuevo Laredo There they could contact a member of the Gulf Cartel or the Northeast Cartel and the violence that literally takes place every day in that state.
If not responsible they provide the info and photos… most of the times our police is so corrupted that they work for the cartel. We don’t trust them at all. They are the worst of the worst.
Little by little i started watching VICE documentaries and now i watch em alot, im so amazed by the quality they have, the way every reported puts their life on the line!!! MASSIVE BIG UPS!!!!
It’s sad to see that the cartels have taken over Mexico 🇲🇽 vice thank you for always risking your life to bring us the viewers this amazing content. Keep up the great work and may god bless you all.
They actually haven't, they control some areas, butn not the whole countrym the reason for that is that the goverment lets them, there's a really good podcast with an ex special forces in which he explains that of the Mexican goverment wanted to end the cartels they could, but is obvious they are getting paid to let them work, only when the cartels over step they boundaries the goverment does something, like when the CJNG recently took control of pretty much the state of Michoacan literally like in 1 month the army retake control of most of the state and righ now is returning to the old status quo of i loet you operate but don't get crazy, also when los Zetas became super big an dangerous the goverment dismatle them, so yeah the Army and teh goverment have the capacity of just end this crap but maqn the money is so good so they don't do it.
You guys are awesome and I truly thank all of you for doing sound, solid reporting. Mexico can be a deadly realization for reporters who report the facts. It appears to be getting worse and I don't believe it is going to get better anytime soon however, if it is going to be safe for reporters in the future, then many more reporters are going to be in the crosshairs and the results will be deaths. Even though it's getting worse, I'm hoping that it will improve in about 10-15 years. Until then, I have much respect for reporters who risk their life.

Really a joke of a president.
I love this journalist. Please keep bringing light to issues in Mexico and Central America ❤️

Don't forget South America and Carribean
AND ALSO THE USA IS PART OF THE DRUG PROBLEM THEY ARE THE BUYERS. EVEN THOUGH SOME GET A LEGAL PRESCRIPTION FOR HARDCORE ADDICTED DRUGS THE DEMAND IS NO LESS
@@patricklutherwinchester4260 yes South America is a large Hispanic area lots of countries like Colombia and Venezuela it's also bad there too
The whole continent is a basket case there are no safe American countries they all suck.
I love the honest integrity that Vice gives their stories.
I really feel badly for the reporters in Mexico and I applaud their bravery.
It is obvious to me that the shadow reporters whom I don't consider reporters at all, are the police officers supposedly investigating because it seems like they're the only ones who can get that close to take such graphic pictures and have such detailed information.
But let's say it is police which only matters if they are telling the truth or if they are corrupted.
If they are reporting the truth then that's best for the journalists.
If it's corrupted then a cartel is paying them to spread lies.
There is something especially disgusting about corrupt politicians. You have been chosen by the people to represent and serve them in a prestigious, well-compensated position. And what do they do? They betray this trust. Makes my skin crawl.
This is why I feel the 2nd amendment is important this is only way I can see the people have power over the government.
Mexico has no government - the drug cartels run the country.
Amlo sucks he’s a wanabe Bernie sanders he isn’t fit to handle these situations
That's thier job. If they don't uphold the narrative they can't get elected. Every government, allows and welcomes this sort of activity. Think about it.... prisons, more laws, more technology etc. This is great for people who are in power
You mean like joe biden
Dude making light of the fact that the emergency button will only help them find his body takes the cake. Dudes already made peace with it all.
R. I. P. Margarito.
This is the true journalism. I appreciate it.
Thank you for doing good reporting and using subtitles, so that we can actually hear the people talking.

The president basically just gave the old politician response, and didnt actually answer any question.
Cos he's corrupt af.
Bro the USA Has a knee on every president South of the border. look at the coup we orchestrated in Bolivia over something petty-lithium, CUBA, AND our countless attempts to destabilize Venezuela including sanctions which hurt the poorest.
First time?
This journalist asked such an open ended question to a highly complex issue that has been embedded for generations. You ask an open ended question, you will get an open ended response. He could just point to the million and one things they are doing to help protect the free press in Mexico. One of which was able to attend a daily 7am press conference with the president - Monday through Friday all year round. You can't get this opportunity any where else in the world - the shows how important free press is in Mexico and the current president. Good luck ever getting that with Biden or Trump on a daily basis.
@@TA-dk5nl Nope La Mananera is just a propaganda show made by AMLO and he doesn't care about Free Speech if it wasn't constitutionally protected he would already ban every single news organization that criticize him, he knows he can't do that, so he just attacks and defame every singlo journalis that criticize his goverment even if it's genuine criticism and he uses intimidation tactics in order to create fear to the journalist, he has literally doxxed journalist on live tv becuase they criticize his goverment.
If they get info/pictures before everyone, it’s obvious that the source is the police
or from the killers maybe
They work with ppl involved either a cop or a cartel member .....that's facts means he was working for one group .....when other groups find out who ls giving u intelligence & info you better disappear....it goes back in forth ....nothing New
@@GiacomoDusina facts
I was thinking the same thing...
The killers and the police are often the same
I live in Tijuana and I want to congratulate whoever makes these documentaries, I can confirm that the story is very well told and what is experienced here is well portrayed.
Mexico has a more extreme version of the same problem that Russia has. The people don't speak out or talk bad against power because they don't want to be targeted by corrupt officials that have ties to cartels. At this point cartels are so entrenched into the culture and communities that they are apart of mexican identity. Only way the problem can be solved is to legalize and regulate drugs.
''Only way the problem can be solved is to legalize and regulate drugs.'', thats only going to put a dent to the problem, drugs isnt even their main income anymore
Yeah it’s way to late for that even if they did they would still play by their dirty rules to one up each other with no boundaries
This is exactly right. I crunched all the numbers and they have to take away the demand in whichever wealthy countries it's coming from
@@Glavrrr really !?? That's news to me . What is ?
@@bobeli7434 that's the type of in fighting for smaller amount of resources that will lead to it's fall . Cartels and organizations don't just disappear. They go through a gradual tumultuous decline as those who are used to having alot of resources , fight and claw for the few resources left.
It's gotta be the cops.
The narcos get hurt, the journalists get hurt, and there's a retired cop going around to draw the ire of both parties towards each other.
It's gotta be the cops.
You people lack the mental level to run working states and societies
Facts! You can’t even trust your local cops. They be playing both sides. Not ALL but you just can’t risk being out doing all that…but there are those who do it knowing the consequences. Sad for MX at the moment. Hopefully ONE DAY all this will end.
When Vice does an international news stories they receive a standing ovation.
When Vice does a news story in their home country they get called biased and partisan
If you’re gonna do Journalism…don’t call yourself “News”.
Simple as that.
Not sure where you’ve been lately…but their “home country” has a MAJOR issue of division and false/inaccurate information used to dramatize political rhetoric, and create divides within the population.
Picking a side…even the “virtuous” side…is perpetuating a system used to suppress and control people.
(FYI: I pretty much side with everything VICE on most things they report on.
I’d just like to see them so it while being UN-refutable.
Being refutable only garners traction for your “opposition”.
th-cam.com/video/03kBmzZK7Js/w-d-xo.html 😊
The Vice pieces focusing on America usually are biased and partisan. And a lot of the international ones too. There is a huge difference between the Vice of old and the Vice of today. That difference? Same as everything else: corporatism and shutting down whatever doesn't go with the mainstream narrative. We live in an age where one must decode what the various media platforms are reporting in order to have any sense of what's really going on. I'm fearful of the future and what's in store for my 5 year old. Or maybe I'm a loony lefty bleeding heart conspiracy theorist.
Because they are biased. You're also ignorant for taking as 100% truth about what they say about other countries that you do not know anything about.
@@znismo1 They said nothing about believing them 100%, so why call them ignorant, friend?
Can you tell me how you see them biased? Maybe give some examples or something? I'm not arguing against you, I'd just like to see it from your point of view.
I came from Mexico to the US at around 8 years old and my parents and brothers tell me all these beautiful stories about Mexico and how amazing it was. Unfortunately all I see now is how dangerous the country is how corrupt it has become. It sucks that I’ll never be able to live those memories my parents and brothers had since you’re always at risk of being involved in a crime.
This reporters Spanish was impeccable!
Probablemente es hijo de latinoamericanos. I mean just look his name, David Noriega not David Smith or other anglo surname.
He’s latino that’s why
Huge respect for the Mexican journalists putting their lives on the line literally. They continue to report and live there and can't just report and leave like vice does.
I wonder if any cartel members watch these videos and realize that all these dead bodies won’t amount to them getting as much money as the old men who control them.
No. They already know without watching videos foreigners make about them.
They know but they don’t care their morally bankrupt
Most of the people that choose to work for a cartel is looking for a few days living as richs, instead of a life of poverty... Regardless the consecuences
They don’t have functioning brains at this point… some of those people are so mentally deranged by now.
@@rafaelmendoza9135 they need to change up their morals bc them subjugating themselves, their families and their fellow countrymen to all this violence they help create is not fair and should be punished one way or another.
I remember when I was a child growing up in the 90’s when my parents would take my sister and I to Mexico for vacation and we would visit family, go to the beach, theaters, go out at night to festivals, etc etc and just have fun without any worry of cartels shooting and killing people. Don’t get me wrong there were still cartels back then but they had at least some form of dignity as far as the cartels of this generation. By no means am I defending what they represent, but in terms of ruthless meaningless assassinations, they only did that to each other in the 90’s. These new cartel members have no souls, no respect for human life no type of code of honor. It’s so sad I may never be able to take my children to visit the places I used to visit as a child so they can see where our roots come from. Maybe one day Mexico will be at peace again, but not anytime soon I’m afraid😞
And it's the same thing with gang culture in the inner cities of the US. We used to be safe in our neighborhoods and not worry that gang members were going to shoot and kill us for no reason. These new folks? They don't care. They kill anyone no code of honor anymore.
I also remember that Mexico of the 1990’s…. Yes they were a lot of issues, but whatever issues Mexico had in 95, Mexico has in 2022 plus senseless and unpunished violence
I think this brutality is caused by the decentralization of the Narcos. As you say in the 90´s basically a few big cartels did dominate and control everything, so within that territory no gang violence, no shootings, nothing, because its under the control of one big Cartel.
Unfortunately today things got a lot more complicated...
Bro Mexico is safe , just don't be involved in anything or be out at night. You're missing out. I was born in Mexico and live in the u.s but came back to visit and been here peacefully with no issues. Yes things happen but to people involved in things they not suppose to be in.
Tbh that’s why I’m terrified to vacation in Mexico if ever
You know damn well these anonymous sources are the police 🤣
Specific those who are First Responders, close to the DEAD!
Most likely or as someone else stated the perpetrators themselves.
Well yeah obviously lol
As a Mexican born citizen, I am ashamed of having AMLO as a president of my country; nothing has changed in the country for the well being of the nation
Hes corrupt just like the rest of them
For a Mexican that is a unique last name. Where is your family from?
Amlo is another sell out
Probably some middle class or higher class guy.
What about the train maya project in Yucatán? Isn’t that a good project from amlo?
Its good to see journalists doing real journalism going everywhere there is a story to be told bravo vice
It’s clearly cops that run the anonymous Facebook pages who else could’ve gotten the pictures?
yep the way they answered the questions gavi it away.
Freedom of speech is never just about speaking. Most people in wealthy western countries has no idea how lucky they are and what privilege they are actually loosing with all the state driven control efforts happening left and right nowadays.
They do know. Why do you think Americans always ready to fight for it.
It’s a 1st amendment right, and for some reason if any animal decides we don’t have that right, then you move to the 2nd amendment.
@@IronicalChronical on paper yes. Your people are letting it slip with uncle joe tho. What the hell is a disinformation governance board in a free country? 🤷🏻♂️
Lucky western country 😂😂😂😂 Yh right there just as bad gimme a break
Ohhh we know, and flex it bro. I was just retaliated by an NYPD officer for hurting his feelings.
Gave me a bullshit ticket that was dismissed.
I hope that these journalist in Mexico keep fighting with their camera.
Props to vice!
This is so hard to watch yet satisfying to know real life is covered. Thank you.
My heart bleeds for Mexico. Big love for the courageous Mexican people putting their lives on the line trying to make light of the criminality disfiguring their beautiful country. Journalists are not snitches.
Respect for actually speaking with my President, his stance on topics have always been so radical and he definetely needed to be put on the spot
my heart goes out to jouranlists in Mexico
Man thank you Vice News for this content. Putting your lives on the line for what mainstream media won’t post.
“The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”
-Ida B Wells
But the people need to care about right and wrong. Mexicans seem to do not.
This is one of the same tactics that the PRI used when they ruled from the 20’s to all the way up to 2000. Instead of actually repressing the press or people who disagree of their government, they would just get people to mock them, humiliate them, disappear them, and it’s so subtle because it isn’t like Venezuela. But this new government is just like the PRI, only difference is that it isn’t a one party state, more like mesh that is so complicated. But Mexico does have some of its fundamental Democratic systems right now, and the independent press getting killed is just tarnishing this young democracy. Hope small independent journalists, independent judges, officers, community leaders, transparency organizations, and others can hold on against this tyranny.
My biggest fear is that this cycle of corruption will never end, as long the dollars keep flowing into politicians pockets nothing will change
@@zvrdoz4988 It will most likely never end but there’s ways to lessen the damage done. There will always be corruption where there’s money/power. Greed is an innate characteristic of animals.
i have your upmost respect, your question to the president was brilliant and really sincere. Unlike his retort...
Man this reminds me of the movie Nightcrawler, except this is real life and a real selfless reporter driving through the thick mist of danger and uncertainty everynight just to shine light on henious crimes being committed in the shade of moon. I cannot fathom how much courage it takes to put your life on the line and chase these stories knowing well that you might end up being the victim in a crime story.
Nobody else could get those crime scene images in no time without being the perpetuatior or the first responders.
Prime suspects.
Any journalist, in any country without freedom of press or speech is honestly some of the bravest people of the 21st century
If I live to retire, I wanna live in Mexico. I wanna die in the land of my ancestors. I wish my people didn't suffer so much.

Conclusion , dont be a journalist in Mexico of you value your life ....
I live in Tijuana, the colony where I live is pretty peaceful, almost never experienced any violent events and I can go outside with no problems at all, 2:31 When I started working in Camino Verde during my High School years it was like stepping in another country, constantly getting news of shootings, murders and in one ocassion witnessing a freshly killed body in front of a school, and noneone seemed fazed, since it was normal for them to witness such things.
1st part of title: omg 😱
2nd part of title: oh 😑
Thanks for the content @Vice going on a decade plus of reading/watching/listening. Love y'all.
This is a news story about human rights being violated and being being killed.
Not exactly appropriate place for your “LOOK AT ME” comment.
Beg for attention elsewhere, kiddo.
You’re being EXTREMELY dismissive.
Thank you to the Vice reporters , and everyone behind the scenes .
Legalize drugs. It's a health issue.. pull the market..
True. The Tijuana problem is a US problem. If US healthcare worked, there wouldn't be so many drug addicts to sell to. If drugs were legal, gangs would have no way to profit from them.
Legalize and tax drugs in America and use all the money to give *Americans free health care
@@gibbonsgomez4434 That's pretty much what we're doing up here in Ontario, Canada. At least with legal cannabis products.
There’s no argument anymore…society has written it off.
“It will hurt some people” just doesn’t fly anymore.
Strobe lights can “hurt some people”.
They haven’t banned Johnny Quido from having his New Jersey dance party light show.
There’s strobe lights all over some rides at Disneyland.
They’re serving up things that could possibly kill certain people that can’t handle it…just like Cartels are.
That stops drug crime but not drug violence
Nor destruction of families through addiction
Nor does it stop overdoses
I live in one of the states mentioned in this excellent report. A general understanding is that, in Mexico, only 1% of homicides are solved.
My best wishes to all journalists in the world.
I can't imagine that the person that the VICE reporter was talking too was proud that an innocent man died because of a misunderstanding. The person, from what I understood, meant that they did their work so "well" to annoy the cartel(s) that they, the cartel(s), have people they think are connected to these anonyms Facebook pages killed. I mean it has to show that what they are doing is getting on these cartel(s) nerves.
Im very sorry for the loss of human life and that innocent people are suffering because of a horrible government. My Condolences goes to everyone affected by these horrific crimes.
I don't know how you VICE guys get recruited, but you are one of the bravest people ever. From going to the mountains of Sinaloa, then going to Michoacan's frontline, then interviewing Wagner in Central African Republic...
Well I’m in serious fear for this segments host because feels like everyone who questions the Mexican president is shitted on and Ultimately killed might not because he’s an American citizen
Blessings to Margaritos family and all reporters in Mexico 🙏💙
dude that section around the 13:00 minute mark is intense!! Mad respect to the journalist!!
That’s a couple miles from San Diego. I always heard that it’s been rough lately in Baja California. However, it’s reached a peak compared to other cities in México. As someone who has family in Baja California I always feel worried because some cartels have no remorse. Men, women, or kids… They don’t care. Thanks once again VICE. You guys are the best!
I thought cartels don't kill innocent people
How's Facebook allowing dead people pictures to be uploaded on their platform?
Amazing to see actual journalism in action. Respect to Vice. Excelente trabajo!
Respect to those Mexican journalists especially!!
When people say I love Tijuana I’m like trying living there for a month 😂
To get rid of corruption answer is simple, we live in new age and politics and presidents have no future here
How do you figure that would work?
You have no idea what you’re talking about brotha… 😭😭😭
Legalize drugs and damn near all of this goes away.
@@ivareskesner2019 legalize drugs. Take away their funding (or most of it)
@@arturogomeztagle9748 He was talking about a world with no politicians. Which is...you know what it is. But as to what you said. A lot of it will, yeah. But they'll just move into other rackets. People smuggling, goods smuggling, counterfeiting, fraud, embezzlement, various types of asset skimming etc. Where there's a shister, there's a way. And in Mexico there are entire armies of shister cut-throats who aren't just going to pack up and go home just because drugs are legal. That said. It would still make a difference to the levels of violence, I think.
The huevos on these people during such crazy and corrupted times, the unsung heroes when it comes to civil unrest
Dude, thank you for presenting things in a calm, cool, objective manner. Appreciated
Excuse me but this is misleading. Up until 11:30 it is just violence from the cartels against journalists and then suddenly, there is a cut to a press conference held by the president of Mexico, some criticism about him not being cordial with the press, the mention that journalist murders have gone up during his time and then some staff about being harassed online by trolls.
I mean cool... If those were separate we could discuss. But this is a deliberate effort to confuse viewers into thinkling that the President of Mexico is involved into the killing of journalists or in league with the Cartels. Of course, the "documentary" itself throws this out the window on the next scene where it mentions that the government actually protects some journalists...
I get it that the Vice journalist got mad because he was harassed by supporters of the president but honestly, this is not worse than Trump supporters reacting to reporters pressing their guy. Saying that the President doesn't like journalists and that his supporters talk crap to them is one thing, implying that he is involved into the killing of journalists is something entirely different.
The law enforcement in my home state of New Mexico has been completely infiltrated by Mexican cartel members.
lol law enforcement in american have gangs of their own
@@xzxmemoxzx the southwest is special because of its proximity to Mexico however yes they do. You are correct.
I'm so sorry that this is happening..how can this be stopped? continued prayers for all..
Not only people from mexico get their news on facebook but also people who imigrated from mexico that live in the US they do aswell.
Uneducated sht culture
Condolences to Margarito friends and family.
merciless cold cruel world human greed is reason humanity downfall one day.
Remember that there is good within humanity, even in a world as torn as the one you may be living in or that you perceive and experience. For all the evil in this world, there is still ultimately light. God reigns over reality and no matter how fallen this world may be, in the end, the light of God and Christ is what will make things ultimately better and the Lord will be He who heals the brokenness of your heartbroken and saddened soul.
Don't give up or lose faith in the goodness of God or the humanity of which He created, there is still light even in the blackest of nights from the glow of the stars which will forever shine upon us in this fallen and broken world. As long as the good people in this world, likely meaning good people such as yourself, fight and continue to persevere in spite of the terrors of the wicked, goodness and love will remain a part of this fractured world and it only takes a little bit of light to expel a lot of darkness my friend
Standing against the tide, for the right.
My respect to these men.
I've said this a hundred times on these videos, i'll say it again; you are some of the best journos out there. I don't know much about journalism but your channel has some of the best of it.
This is something I haven’t seen lately in Vice. Great reporting.
I feel like it's the police running these anonymous FB pages or there's a person or person's running these anonymous pages and the "sources" are the authorities.
The Mexican president was like “they are watching us right now….”
Honestly, Vice is one of the best channels on YT.
Why wouldn’t they? In 1980, Blancornelas and Félix and Francisco Ortiz Franco co-founded the weekly magazine Zeta. Through the magazine, the pair continued their investigation into organized crime and corruption.
Hector Félix Miranda contributed a column titled "A Little of Something", in which he satirized and criticized government officials, particularly those of the long-ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He particularly targeted Jorge Hank Rhon, son of a former Mexico City mayor and the owner of a Tijuana racetrack. Hector “El Gato Félix” Miranda was assassinated on April 20, 1988, when a car cut in front of him in traffic; another vehicle pulled alongside, and Félix was hit with multiple shotgun blasts. Jesús Blancornelas, Félix Miranda's writing partner, continued his aggressive writing style and published more articles on the Tijuana Cartel and on the drug trade than many other Mexican newspapers. In response to the death of his colleague, Blancornelas issued an ad pressuring the Baja California that read the following, "Jorge Hank Rhon: Why did your bodyguards assassinate me?" in reference to the death of Félix Miranda. In November 1996, Blancornelas was planning to visit New York City to receive an international award for his work in covering the drug trade, political corruption, and the relationship between the drug lords and the police. A few days before he was about to fly, a policeman in Tijuana visited Blancornelas and warned him that he was risking his life if he decided to go. A year later, the warning proved to be true: in 1997 in Tijuana, Blancornelas was ambushed and wounded by gunmen of the Tijuana Cartel while heading to the airport for publishing a photo of the drug lord Ramón Arellano Félix. Blancornelas was nearly killed when the attackers opened fire on his car, wounding him in the abdomen and killing his driver and bodyguard, Luis Valero Elizalde, who died protecting him and managed to kill one of the shooters. Blancornelas suffered complications from the injury for the rest of his life. In the attack, Blancornelas' car was hit more than 180 times, but only four bullets penetrated the journalist's body. Elizalde, however, was hit 38 times. That same year, three other prominent journalists were killed in Mexico.
A lot of people don’t know this, but Jesús Blancornelas assassination attempt was also in the last season of Narcos Mexico. Also I recommend a lot of you noobz listen to El Gato Felix corrido by Los Tigres Del Norte. The Zeta magazine was resulting in numerous threats and attacks against its staff, while Ortiz was assassinated in 2004, apparently for his coverage of the Tijuana Cartel.
I stopped having hope for 🇲🇽mexico......legalization of drugs is the only answer. This is the same old Mexican story.....
Legalize drugs were? Most of the cartels market is in the US, legalizing drugs in Mexico would bring an infimum result. 😕
Excellent report, thanks for showing this horrible reality so that the Mexican government can be called upon to protect journalists. I am a Mexican living in Europe and I have not been able to return to my country because of how things are in the country, it pains me so much to see how things do not change with the current president who has turned out worse than all the previous ones, Mexico has become a lawless place.
Your videos are amazing keep it up! ❤️❤️
This goes to show how lucky people have it in the states. Viva Mexico 🇲🇽
VICE team, if you do a report similar to the interview with the CJNG commander, go to Tamaulipas in Reynosa, Matamoros or Nuevo Laredo There they could contact a member of the Gulf Cartel or the Northeast Cartel and the violence that literally takes place every day in that state.
So ridiculous how he got hate for wanting his fellow journalists to be safe lol
The Mexican police are the reporters of the anonymous pages?
If not responsible they provide the info and photos… most of the times our police is so corrupted that they work for the cartel. We don’t trust them at all. They are the worst of the worst.
May peace be upon you Mexico 🇲🇽
Such amazing journalism!! He keeps it real and is highly informative. Keep up the awesome work Vice!! 👍🏻
"our heads have price"
That line made me sad 😔
Finally man good documentary not no bs videos
Little by little i started watching VICE documentaries and now i watch em alot, im so amazed by the quality they have, the way every reported puts their life on the line!!! MASSIVE BIG UPS!!!!
It has always saddened me that our country has never been able to pull out self out of this vicious cycle.
As someone who has firsthandedly seen the crimes in Mexico I salute y’all for having the massive balls to do what y’all do like that’s real bravery
It’s sad to see that the cartels have taken over Mexico 🇲🇽 vice thank you for always risking your life to bring us the viewers this amazing content. Keep up the great work and may god bless you all.
They would be powerless if drugs were decriminalized tomorrow and regulated by our failed state, the US
They actually haven't, they control some areas, butn not the whole countrym the reason for that is that the goverment lets them, there's a really good podcast with an ex special forces in which he explains that of the Mexican goverment wanted to end the cartels they could, but is obvious they are getting paid to let them work, only when the cartels over step they boundaries the goverment does something, like when the CJNG recently took control of pretty much the state of Michoacan literally like in 1 month the army retake control of most of the state and righ now is returning to the old status quo of i loet you operate but don't get crazy, also when los Zetas became super big an dangerous the goverment dismatle them, so yeah the Army and teh goverment have the capacity of just end this crap but maqn the money is so good so they don't do it.
Cowards are taken over the U.S. now

And Vice at it again with the best Cartel docs. Mad mad reporting.
You guys are awesome and I truly thank all of you for doing sound, solid reporting. Mexico can be a deadly realization for reporters who report the facts. It appears to be getting worse and I don't believe it is going to get better anytime soon however, if it is going to be safe for reporters in the future, then many more reporters are going to be in the crosshairs and the results will be deaths. Even though it's getting worse, I'm hoping that it will improve in about 10-15 years. Until then, I have much respect for reporters who risk their life.
Not at all
