In a montage with several experts speaking about the presence of federal lawmakers in Portland, Oregon, the Daily Show showed the same group of people who argued a few years earlier against federal intervention in a 2014 case against Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy. .
Bundy was an independent rancher who faced whether he had the right to allow his cattle to graze on federal land.

In the Bundy case, the government confiscated his cattle, leading to the support of his fellow ranchers and others against the government’s perceived overreach when the two sides clashed.
In the Portland case, lawmakers are trying to prevent federal assets from being damaged or destroyed by those who oppose the system and want to change it.
Does the montage show us media hypocrisy? Or a comparison of apples and oranges from two totally different situations? Watch the video and decide for yourself.
