Journalists Flee Utah Newspaper Overtaken By PR
Original Author(s): PRWatch
DESERET NEWS -Guid-

↑

From PR Watch:

Journalists working for Utah's oldest continuously-published daily newspaper, the Deseret News, are leaving the paper in a dispute over the new direction in the paper's journalism. The problem started when the paper published a front-page story written entirely by Michael Purdy, the head of the LDS Church's public relations department. The paper did not identify the "reporter" as a member of the Church's public affairs department. Joel Campbell, who blogs about Mormon media for the Deseret News and is an active Mormon, is one of those leaving the paper. He says printing the news story was an "anathema to journalism" and presents an ethical conflict. The newspaper also recently laid off 85 members of its staff, and emailed Campbell asking him not to blog about it. Instead, the paper put out a news release that buried information about the layoffs six or seven sentences deep. Campbell complained that the paper was trying to control the message about it, and their actions were offensive to those getting laid off. The Deseret News is owned by a subsidiary of a for-profit holding company owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, also known as the Mormon or LDS Church.

Deseret News Hypocritically Mocks Warren Jeffs For Apocalyptic Prophecies
Original Author(s): captainmoroni
DESERET NEWS -Guid-

↑

Hilariously, Deseret News and Mo commenters are mocking Warren Jeffs for making apocalyptic and crazy prophecies about disaster in the US. Of course, they fail to mention Mormonism's own long history of failed apocalypses.

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/70...

Joseph Smith - Prophecy by the authority of Jesus Christ of a soon to come time of bloodshed, pestilence, hail, famine and earthquake. — History of the Church, vol. 1, p. 315 (January 4, 1833)

Joseph Smith - Made known to him in vision and by the Spirit that the coming of the Lord was nigh, 56 years should wind up the scene. — History of the Church, vol. 2, p. 182 (February 14, 1835)

Joseph Smith - "I prophesy in the name of the Lord god of Israel, unless the United States redress the wrongs committed ... in a few years the government will be utterly overthrown and wasted, and there will not be so much as a potsherd left" — History of the Church, vol. 5, p. 394 (May 18, 1843)

John Taylor - Prophetic dream that the US would become something along the lines of "I Am Legend" Zombie apocalypse within 20 years. (Wilford Woodruff’s Journal, June 15, 1878, “A Vision, Salt Lake City, Night of Dec 16, 1877?) Read it in full here: http://www.latterdayconservative.com/...

Wilford Woodruff and Brigham Young's prophecies that New York City would be destroyed by earthquake, Boston by flood, and Albany (Albany of all cities? Doesn't God set his sights on cities that matter?) by fire. There are multiple sources for this revelation at http://www.fullnessoftimes.com/prophe...

As you can see, Mormonism has its own embarassing history of apocalyptic and silly prophecies. Deseret News is hypocritically pillorying Jeffs for keeping the prophet's legacies alive.
