Why did KVOA-Tucson do this? Outrageous

I'm sitting here scratching my head wondering why? KVOA posted a news story in the last hour and titled it, "Travel Warning in effect for parts of Mexico." Okay, we all knew that, there has been one for how many years now by the State Dept? But this is where the story gets outrageous- it starts off by saying, "A new travel warning in Mexico. It alerts the public that drug cartel violence has moved-into areas frequented by tourists. The State Department issued a state by state assessment of the risks. It included the state of Sonora." Then at the bottom of the article, it has the specific travel warning from the State Dept which is dated........JULY 12, 2013! This isn't new, this is nothing but pure hype to make a story. Are they that desperate for news that have to invent it? Travel Warning in effect for parts of Mexico | KVOA.com | Tucson, Arizona

Well, it is a week and a half before the Labor Day weekend............

Did they fire the last guy from Tuscon and have someone new?

The number of U.S. citizens reported to the Department of State as murdered in Mexico was 113 in 2011 and 71 in 2012.

And ZERO in Rocky Point!

Leave it to KVOA- "recent travel warning"- when it was issued July 12th.

Update:

Travel warning lifted for Rocky Point

They announced this today on the Channel 3 Morning Show. Pictures and all! It was good to see something positive about RP, especially right before a holiday weekend.

Naturalized or 'right of soil' (born in the US)?

The Banana Boat guys have killed and injured more gringos than the cartels

It's the banana boat cartel. They don't use guns. They do however rely on you being drunk or stoned out your mind to complete their deed.
