COMMENTS: NBC on NarcoMexWatch
NBC is leading the way in serious coverage of Mexico's narcoviolence. Of the twelve stories filed on the three network newscasts so for this year, six have been aired by NBC (CBS 4, ABC 2) and four of them have been filed by Mark Potter. For NBC's In Depth Potter now finds himself in Juarez where as recently as last month murders were being committed at the rate of ten a day. A corrupt police force seems to have been the problem, Potter found. Mayor Jose Reyes Ferriz called in federal soldiers, whose "first mission was to take over the police department." Warring drug cartels have left town and "almost immediately the crime rate plummeted."
