The Los Angeles Times was castigated by social media users for a story that seemed to blame the victims of cartel violence in Mexico for the killings of nine American citizens while the New York Times was criticized for calling the group “religious fundamentalists.”

A shootout in Sonora on Monday left nine Americans dead, including three women and six children. They were part of a Mormon community nearby.
