I'm not in the US, so not really in a position to judge seeing as I haven't used NPR before. That said, it seems to be getting outrageously little coverage compared to the Oregon militia nuts.

Bundy and Co took over an actual federal facility and threatened direct violence against law enforcement. They were also nutso but that tends to draw memories to Waco. They represented a clear, easy, and somewhat exciting narrative; look how enthralled d&d was.

WaPo had this on their front page earlier today and the quotes from the various sides, assuming the reporting is complete enough, did a poor job of convincing which side was more correct, at least in terms of the project itself.
