More than a century later, some news reports, especially those outside the U.S., still fail to draw clear distinctions whenever stories arise about polygamy in the Intermountain West,” the LDS Church said in a statement posted on its Web site.
The LDS Church praised many news media outlets across the country for noting the difference between the two churches. However, church officials were critical of foreign media reports that ran photographs of the Mormon temple in Salt Lake City next to stories of the polygamous compound raid in Texas and headlines that use the term “Mormon” without a distinction.
“You would think that after over 100 years, media organizations would understand the difference,” Elder M. Russell Ballard said in the LDS Church’s statement on Friday. “You can’t blame the public for being confused when some of those reporting on these stories keep getting them wrong.” (cont.)
