Critical Thinking Test and Let's Try Out 'Threads'

Hey Friends! I’m swamped this week so I’m practicing kindness with myself. I’ll pick up next Monday but for now I’ll leave you with these two articles to test your critical thinking skills.
These articles are talking about the premise for the latest NARCOS, which is the killing of an agent that apparently sparked a revenge mission Operation Leyenda.
What jumps out to you about the different ways this story is discussed? What does it do to history when real events are made murky with creative liberties? How does this impact people’s attitudes about Mexicans and Mexican Americans? This was a literal hit squad that was sent into Mexico by the US government, imagine if the roles had been reversed. How would we be talking about this if it had been the other way around?
Let’s get a discussion going in the comments. Let me know what you discover!
