Maybe Mr. Bundy could have handled this better, I don’t know, but this man has lost a lot due to government overreach so is understandably mad and I give hm the benefit of doubt. Regarding his protest about citizen journalists being removed, he is spot on. “Real” journalists are not journalists at all. Not these days anyway. Journalists don’t lie… Read more »
