YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIn this "Losers and Haters" segment of Episode 113, hosts José Luis Granados Ceja and Kurt Hackbarth train their sights on a New York Times piece that claims Morena officials are secretly cooperating with U.S. investigators—and they dismantle it piece by piece. The hosts expose the article's flimsy foundation: eight anonymous "people involved in conversations" who are never quoted, recycled allegations from the very same reporters who previously insinuated—without a shred of evidence—that AMLO's sons were caught on video picking up drug money. Add to that the endless parade of the same irrelevant Mexican commentators paraded out for yet another hit piece, and what emerges is a masterclass in lazy, source-free rumor peddling dressed up as prestige journalism. A scathing takedown of how the "paper of record" trades in innuendo when it comes to Mexico.
