Travis Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 That one is beyond the beyond. I don't believe that story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Oh, I believe her. I don't believe that paper actually printed the story as an article like that. It was more like a long-winded letter to the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiko Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 Another perspective is that perhaps some sgl expat men are seeking opportunities with destitute Mexican women. This time it backfired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 This whole story could be true, or it could be a work of fiction. Who knows. My experience of Mexico News Daily has been that their articles are often full of misstatements, their headlines are clickbait, and their 'facts' are far from truth. YMMV.

ComputerGuy Posted February 12, 2019 Report Share Posted February 12, 2019 I've never really fact-checked them, but they certainly like the sensationalist headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex45920 Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 I don't read the website much anymore but, if I remember correctly, the vast majority of the content is simply translated from news stories published in the Mexican media. So holding Mexico News Daily responsible for perceived factual errors in the original reports seems unfair. I suppose the staff of Mexico News Daily is responsible for the headlines to the extent that they may vary from the original Spanish headlines. But since I've never compared the Mexico News Daily headlines to the originals I really have no opinion on the quality of those headlines. Considering the piss-poor state of the Mexican media in general, I appreciate the correctness and clarity of language used in the reports published on their website. Again, if I remember correctly, about the only original content on the website are various opinion pieces, which are clearly labeled as "opinion." In the past, when I was a reader of their website, I had the impression they were doing a pretty good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
