Media get it wrong regarding Romney and religion
Good article today from the Pepperdine Graphic on the media’s misperception of Romney. Despite rock star credentials, some media outlets seem bent on highlighting the differences between Mormonism and other Christian churches as a way of discrediting Romney.
Romney is top in academics, top in business, top in non-profit work, and top in politics. Not bad.
Oh, and by the way— he’s a Mormon.
What’s the big deal about Romney’s religion?
What some media outlets call a cult is the same Christian religion to which many business leaders and politicians belong.
Funny how these same media types have no trouble with Harry Reid, the Democratic Senate minority leader being Mormon, or have a problem with the CEO’s of Marriott Hotels, Fischer-Price, Albertsons and Oakley Sunglasses belonging to the same “cult.”
On the contrary, Romney is the candidate whose beliefs most coincide with the Christian right.
Contrasted against the agnostic McCain and the pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage Giuliani, Romney will emerge as the sensible choice for evangelicals uniting the Republicans, not dividing them. Once again, the media have got it wrong.
