TV news station attacked in Mexico

 My mom always used to say we shouldn't take things for granted.

Good words to live by, even as an adult.

This story from the BBC seems to under line that nugget of wisdom on a professional level: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7815067.stm

In an effort to stop Mexican journalists from reporting on the drug cartels that have overrun the country, gunmen showered the TV station with bullets. 

"A grenade was also thrown which exploded in an empty workshop. A note was left nearby, reading 'Stop just reporting on us, report on the narco's political leaders' - an apparent reference to the Mexican government."

Some solace should be taken that in the United States, very rarely are we subject to gunfire and grenades after reporting on unpopular stories.
