El Paso Times Merida Report Story, What's the Angle?

I read a front page story in the El Paso Times yesterday about delaying aid to Mexico as part of the Merida Initiative.

Its a really interesting story and something we should all be paying attention to, especially considering the tragedy happening in Juarez and throughout Mexico.

But I am totally confused by the timing of the story. This report came out September 2 and they are just now getting to the story? The Washington Post wrote this story about the report on the 3rd of September.

In their defense, the Times does state that the report was released two weeks ago (it was actually more like over 3 weeks ago, but you get my point).

Maybe they think we don't read publications outside of El Paso, but some of us do use the internet, follow RSS feeds, or Twitter.

Nonetheless, I thought it was a good story, I'm just totally confused by the timing.
