Today, it is easy to find people complimenting the remarkable career of George Romney, a true public servant, even as some do it to dimish his son.
In that there's the rub: It's hard not to conclude that the press' relentless framing of a bumbling George Romney weeded out the wrong guy in 1968, because the man who beat Romney in the primary was Richard Nixon.
This seems a thinly veiled apologetic aimed at blaming the press for Mitt's gaffe prone image...

Now, I am not saying either Barack Obama or Mitt Romney is another Nixon, but in this strange, frustrating election system we have now, we just don't know much about our candidates' true characters despite the relentless coverage, and it's more than possible that a few decades from now we'll look back and say we elected the wrong guy.

As you know, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Please find out why this matters so much to me. To me, to a world in need of miracles, the Book of Mormon, together with the Bible, is one. The Church offers free copies. I'd invite you to get a copy of it. I'd happily answer any questions you might have or, at least, try to direct you to those who could best answer them.

Show my question: If the Church maintains publicly that it as a political neutral organisation, should the media outlets it owns also display the same neutrality?
