Is the Mexican narco war the biggest story neglected by the media?

In an interview with the Columbia Journalism Review, Christiane Amanpour calls Mexico's narco-war the biggest story being neglected at this moment.

"Mexico is a huge drama right on the border of the United States. There’s a narco-trafficking sub-state that’s taking over, it’s corrupting officials, it’s killing journalists, it’s killing civilians. This is a huge problem and it’s combined with the immigration issue and it’s an area where we can do a lot more work. But it’s very dangerous."

Do you agree with her assessment that this is a story that needs more coverage? Are there other urgent stories that need to be told?
