Mexico brings suit against media company over MrBeast pyramids video

Mexico's President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has initiated legal action against several media outlets, including The New York Times, ProPublica, and Insight Crime, accusing them of defamation and seeking $1.5 billion in damages. The lawsuit claims these organizations published false information about his administration's alleged ties to drug cartels, specifically citing a report that suggested his 2006 presidential campaign received illicit funds from drug lords. López Obrador's administration argues that these reports are part of a smear campaign aimed at discrediting his government's efforts to combat corruption and organized crime.
