Mexican drug gangs' public relations campaign

From guns to the media, Mexican drug cartels have turned to new and unusual tactics to intimidate their rivals.

Videos of drug-related massacres have been sent to news networks and posted online.

The gangs have also tried to win support through public displays of strength.

But as Al Jazeera's Rachel Levin reports, people in the southern city of Cuernavaca are not impressed by the cartels' campaigns.

It seems a key factor in this war is the will to fight, as in any war really.

Make the cartels loose hope, convice them there is nothing they can do to stop the people. If that is achieved, they will be easier targets.

No offense or anything, just opinion. Feel free to give constructive feedback.
