Story gist: One person was killed in a shooting at a restaurant in Mexico City’s Historic Center. The incident occurred near Plaza Meave and Eje Central.

Bias summary: Left-leaning La Jornada frames neutrally with precise restaurant and Historic Center details. Center N+ uses sensational question format, emphasizing ‘balacera’ shootout, Plaza Meave, and nighttime timing for urgency. Right-leaning Reforma specifies male victim and Eje Central proximity, omitting restaurant. Left and right are factual; center adds drama via style.

Story gist: Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated that the United States attacked a cocaine factory in Venezuela. Reports describe a CIA drone strike on a port or dock there.

Bias summary: Left-leaning NYT frames it as factual CIA drone attack on a Venezuelan port, using assertive tone. Center DW neutrally attributes the claim to Petro without confirmation. Right-leaning El Universal emphasizes CIA strike on dock linked to Tren de Aragua gang, citing CNN and implying anti-crime context, omitting Petro’s primary role.

Story gist: Police officer Jazmín García was found buried in her home in Álvaro Obregón after 12 days missing. A man identified as José ‘N’ was arrested in connection with her disappearance. Family and friends held a farewell.

Bias summary: Left-leaning La Jornada emphasizes the suspect’s arrest with dramatic phrasing (‘Cae José “N”‘), highlighting justice served. Center El Universal focuses on the emotional farewell and grim discovery of the body buried in her home. Right-leaning Reforma reports neutrally on the man’s detention without naming him or details on the body’s condition, omitting emotional elements.

Story gist: Francisco Barrio Terrazas, former governor of Chihuahua, Mexico, died at age 75.

Bias summary: Left-leaning La Jornada frames the story as a straightforward obituary, noting only death, age, and former governorship without political context or nicknames. Center outlet El Financiero adopts a biographical tone, highlighting Barrio’s PAN identity, confrontation with PRI in the 1980s, and victory, portraying him as a bold challenger. Right-leaning perspective absent; such outlets might emphasize his anti-PRI heroism and conservative legacy more celebratorily.

Story gist: President Claudia Sheinbaum promised comprehensive reparations for victims of an accident on Mexico’s Tren Interoceánico. Morena deputies expressed solidarity with the victims, and the Senate president condemned revictimization of those affected.

Bias summary: Left-leaning outlets like La Jornada emphasize Morena deputies’ solidarity with victims, portraying government support positively. Center sources such as senado.gob focus on the Senate president’s condemnation of revictimization, highlighting protection of affected parties. Right-leaning outlets offer no coverage, absenting potential critiques of government accountability or accident prevention.
