My friend Sam has cancer—Stage IV melanoma. He was diagnosed while we were working together on the biggest story of our careers. I've watched him navigate it with grace and hope, despite the odds.

As a journalist, I don't like the idea of journalism outlets being sued. But this isn't journalism, it's libel. There's absolutely a reckless disregard for the truth happening here.

Home to nearly 22 million people, the Mexico City megapolis is literally sinking under the weight of its own ambition and growth. And as lakes dried up, reservoirs drained low, and taps ran dry, the people who rely on them are suffering by ingesting water that’s not fit for consumption.
