TV: Sensationalism vs. Truth

How does one get viewers for TV? It seems that sensationalism mixed with a few exaggerations does a great job.

“Big Love,” which purports to be a sort of documentary about polygamy and the “Mormons,” is a great example of the use of a hot topic, which when combined with lots of rumor and innuendo can lead to an exciting program. In this program, special mention has been made of the LDS (Mormon) use of temples in a highly inaccurate and inflammatory manner.

Unfortunately, when a some of the ideas and practices which one group considers to be sacred are distorted and made to appear almost obscene, one who realizes the truth must make a protest. For those who are willing to learn of the truth the following URL contains a very brief but factual account of LDS temple usage.
