Special Report | Mexico: after the election, the resistance

Plaque in the lobby of Televisa HQ "We are in the business of entertainment and information, and we can educate, but fundamentally we can entertain. Mexico is a country of a very modest class that is entirely screwed, that is not going to stop being screwed.
