"...Therein was the challenge for reporters across the country - indeed, the globe - who were suddenly enlisted to explain the Mormon candidate and his faith to a world that knew almost nothing about the American-born church. For the most part, their experience, knowledge, vocabulary, and perspective came from the Protestant world that long had dominated American religion. This sometimes led journalists to make false assumptions and ask the wrong questions." [From the text]
