I'm disappointed that the Deseret News has been leaning leftward on a few issues, but sooner or later,I predict, its editorial board, made up of members of the First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve,will clean things up a bit while avoidiung throwing the baby out with the bath water.

Jack Anderson (D-The Spirit World) was one journalist that was not exactly admired by President or Elder Benson over the years. I knew and liked Jack Anderson, but he never met a POTUS he could stand, including, to his credit, Jimmuh Carter.
Re: Reid, I remember sitting in the Tabernacle waiting for General Conference (October, 1988) to start (good seats/up close/long story), and saw none other than Senator Orrin Hatch (R?-Utah) saunter in with someone in tow who was identified for me as then non-LDS Senator Harry Reid.
My faith in the Lord and in the leaders of the Church remains quite strong, but I marvel at how the Church moves on -- growing and growing around the world -- despite the frequent cow pies, living and inanimate, that it must avoid stepping in each and every hour.
Its phenomenal success is in and of itself a miracle...
"Orthodox" used in what context?
Its phenomenal success is in and of itself a miracle...
This; also; could be said...
My faith in Mohammed (PBUH) and in the Imams of Islam remains quite strong, but I marvel at how the Jihad moves on -- growing and growing around the world -- despite the frequent cow pies, living and inanimate, that it must avoid stepping in each and every hour.
