Comings also pointed out that many of the armed "militia" who came to
Bundy's aid are from out of state, describing them as "just
anti-government and ... just seen as outsiders who are coming in to jump
on this issue."
Even Las Vegas Review-Journal Editor Michael Hengel, whose paper published an editorial
in support of Bundy, admitted he is not legally in the right: "He's
breaking the law, that fact is true, they have ruled that ... The courts
have ruled that he is on federal land and he is grazing on federal land
and he has not paid."
In St. George, UT., the closest city with its own daily media, the online St. George News weighed in with a critical piece
Sunday that also took aim at the national press supporting Bundy,
stating: "The Bundy Range War was perpetuated by an irresponsible media
vying for nothing more than ratings and an ill-informed and willfully
ignorant public who, much like a NASCAR fan, come to the race simply in
hopes of seeing a crash."
