I don’t think it was his obituary from the New York Times. They were reporting on the news, and likely what made him known to the world at large, not the LDS community.

There is no precedent of newspapers reporting on deceased religious leaders in a way that their followers would like. They usually report on how they were known by the world at large. Monson’s stances on the topics listed were more well known than his visits to widows.

That’s simply not true. Newspapers print obituaries of famous people who died every day.

They do notify the world that the person has passed. That does qualify as an obituary. But the focus is entirely different than the normal obituary from family. It usually discusses what made the person newsworthy.

What do you think the NYT will say when Pope Francis dies?
-
I think they will certainly discuss things that made him noteworthy to the world at large. Not simply his followers.

You really don’t see any bias in this?

It’s a poor headline, but a fairly accurate synopsis of his tenure as president, which was only a tenth of his life, and marked by a severe physical and cognitive decline that curtailed his ability to minister in the form he was known for in his prior years.
