As I said before, I somehow haven't found a way to log radio broadcasts in a readable form. Can't even remember when I heard it - must have been a couple of weeks ago. And it's something I haven't heard too often, that's why it stuck out.

A few links I got googling "nafta mexico farmers":

Now if it looks that the sites Google served are leaning left, it's probably because those leaning right are ignoring the subject.
