Right Wing Militias are thriving but the media won't mention it.

 Three months after the standoff at the Cliven Bundy ranch, the Southern Poverty Law Center has issued a report—” War in the West: The Bundy Ranch Standoff and the American Radical Right“—stating what should have been obvious at the time, but which most media coverage utterly obscured: The standoff was not some quirky, standalone event that spontaneously just happened out of the blue. Rather, it was a highly coordinated event reflecting the threat of a larger militia movement, which in turn has drawn together multiple threads of far-right ideology over the course of the last 40 years.
