Puebla Government Accuses TV Azteca of Disinformation Campaign

The government of Puebla has accused TV Azteca of participating in a 'disinformation mafia' aimed at attacking the administration. The accusations follow the government's decision to reject contract requests from the media group totaling more than 2.3 billion pesos, opting instead to direct public resources toward families.

Officials claim the media outlet has launched a campaign of retaliation involving low-quality reports, AI-generated content, and vulgar satire. The government has characterized these actions as an attempt at extortion and criticized the outlet for using unverified screenshots and self-referencing sources rather than conducting legitimate investigative journalism.
