LETTER: R-J losing readership by touting Bundy

FROM OUR READERS

November 16, 2014 - 12:01 am

To the editor:

I was pleased to see the front-page story on the Cliven Bundy saga (“Nevada rancher Bundy waits as FBI probes,” Nov. 9 Review-Journal). It made it that much easier for me to decide to cancel my subscription.

It’s one thing to have an editorial on Mr. Bundy and his fight against the government, but to have a front-page story and continually try to make this criminal a folk hero is just poor journalism. I realize you have to sell newspapers, but the front page? Really?

Sorry, this decision has cost you a reader. This is not about his constitutional rights. Mr. Bundy is just another guy who feels wronged by the system and doesn’t want to pay what he owes. We all know how this will end. The government will stop playing politics with him and turn it over to the IRS, which will then proceed to find all the taxes he’s “forgotten” to pay and put him in prison.
