With the recapture of the notorious El Chapo, many are starting to examine the circumstances which led to his apprehension.
El Chapo’s apprehension was a noteworthy event on it’s own, but the fact that an interview Sean Penn conducted with the Mexican drug lord on behalf of Rolling Stone played a role in his capture sensationalized the story even more. It was this sensationalism that some are objecting to.
Long subjected to terror by El Chapo and other assorted criminals, Mexican journalists are outraged that Penn was able to get an audience with the powerful fugitive. They point out that the drug cartels effectively control everything newspapers print in Mexico, and that journalists who tried to write about even a fraction of the information Penn uncovered in his interview have been murdered.
It’s not just the ease with which Penn arranged a conversation between himself and El Chapo that angers Mexican reporters, though. It’s the amiable, even reverent tone with which Penn addresses his interview subject, a man responsible for the death of thousands and the corruption of the Mexican government.

Penn snorted one too many lines!
Why did he interview this man,is he a reporter? NO!
He needs to just go away I never liked him still can’t figure out why he thinks people care about what he has to say
Know one cares. That’s why.
Penn and that Mexican actress better hide…the Cartel assuredly believes this was a setup…
WOULD YOU EXPECT ANYTHING LESS ?

I just wonder how Sean Penn could find El Chapo and the Mexican government could not,I know the United States was helping now that could turn out to be a joke on the u s
