Polar opposites
It's not unusual that The Salt Lake Tribune, which has been known to face charges of anti-Mormon bias, and the Deseret Morning News, which is owned by the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, would disagree. But today's example is rather remarkable even by the standards of the editorial holy war that is waged by these two partners in the unholy newspaper joint operating alliance.
Today, the Tribune published a story under the headline "Rape trial for ex-BYU football players delayed." The News, meanwhile, opted for a directly opposed headline: "Y. rape case nearing trial."
So who's right? Actually, I found both stories supremely unhelpful. The News story seems to be a re-hash of old information in the name of just giving an update when there isn't really anything to update. In other words, it's no-news. The Tribune, meanwhile, says the trial has been delayed by a couple of weeks (from June 27 to July 8) but dutifully reports that the Tribune has no idea why the trial was delayed.
