3. Trump has been egging his supporters to go after journalists forever

4. Yes, he has. Remember the NY Times reporter he also mocked publicly.

I have never seen a politician stoop that low, do anything nearly that vicious, and his supporters whooped it up.

6. There is a rising nationalist movement in Mexico responding to Trump's public contempt

and they are now negotiating independent trade deals with the fastest growing regional economies; Brazil and Argentina.

I am afraid that, despite his reputation, our Deal making Artist of a President is not a very good negotiator.

11. There is a saying in Mexico

So close to the United States and so far from God.

7. Sounds more drug cartel than political

Either way with no press the bad guys win

9. Greenwald, Timm and Snowden were unavailable for comment

10. At one level, it doesn't matter the country....

It was a journalist who was murdered. At that same level, it doesn't matter the newspaper, it was a newspaper that closed because of the murder of journists.
It is heartbreaking and cause for activism
