      Regardless of what you think of the politics, that’s quite the obituary for someone that is literally known for his service to widows and the poorhttps://twitter.com/neontaster/status/948647256172974082 …

      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?

      I see bias in everything. We all have it in spades. The Times was reporting on the newsworthiness of his passing, not trying to honor his life.

      I understand that. They’re doing it terribly.

          I think the Mormon community has a hard time swallowing that policies about women and homosexuals are more noteworthy to the world than his other work. I get that. But it doesn’t change the reality of what the worldwide interest is about Monson’s life.
