The evening news came on as scheduled last night on the Mexican Televisa network. Outside the Monterey station, two cars pulled up. Men with ski masks jumped out and sprayed the entrance with bullets, then lobbed a grenade into the station.
The attackers left a note nearby warning the station to stop reporting on violence due to drug cartels.
In case you haven't noticed, Mexico is in the midst of a quasi-civil-war amongst its extremely powerful drug cartels and goverment forces. It's a god damn bloodbath down there.
"15 journalists have been killed and many newspapers have stopped investigative reporting on drug cartels" since 2006, reports the BBC.
