Mexico's media are critical and cynical over 'El Chapo' Guzman's escape

The second prison escape by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, head of the Sinaloa cartel and Mexico's most powerful drug lord, has created a wave of criticism toward the country's government.

Guzman escaped sometime Saturday through a mile-long tunnel that ran under largely unpopulated land and ended in a somewhat isolated house under construction, surrounded by empty fields.

Mexico's media have raised questions about how it was possible construction went unnoticed and whether prison guards played a role in his escape.

Newspaper headlines on newsstands read "Wanted, Again" and "Ridiculous, Again."

Newspapers and online websites have devoted some of its coverage to the international attention the country has received.
