The article from the Onion called “Mexico Killed In Drug Deal” and a “real” New York Times news clip called “The Most Dangerous Beat: Juárez, Mexico are very similar in what issues they discuss, however the Onion is obviously making a joke out of it. The NY Times clip discusses how reporters are put in danger when investigating drug cartels and how the Mexican government and police force are corrupt. The article in the Onion also discusses the corruption of the government and drug cartel problems. In terms of agenda-setting, both news sources give importance to the issue due to the fact that it boarders the U.S and has impacts our country as well, or at least they manipulate it that way. Also, in terms of gate keeping, the NY Times clip monitors how much information they decide to give or not give, while the Onion will say anything because their information is not real.
