I assure you, I usually take what the media says with a grain of salt. Credulity is quite foreign to my nature. I think, in this case, it is my unfamiliarity with the Bundy family that probably led to my lapse in judgement. If I had been aware of their previous encounters with the government, I may have been more skeptical about media viewpoints on the situation. Also, I try to glean some information from the comments about the veracity of sources, and I didn’t see anyone denouncing the article so I figured it was at least semi-accurate. Definitely a “live and learn” situation.
Hang in there. :)
