Too much Mormon hype

T.K. Jones Feb. 16, 2004 From the print edition

It appears that another good, conservation-oriented publication has succumbed to the LDS propaganda machine. We pay for a balanced publication, not just another extension of the Ensign. If I wanted more PR from the LDS, then I would get it free from the missionaries.

It is not enough that the Mormons now own D.C. and are setting environmental policy, but to have to read about how great they are is quite enough!

Another article about the Mormons, and that will be it for myself and a number of my friends regarding your otherwise fine publication.
