What would the base be? Des is obviously biased

church run paper, church run school...Maybe comparing the trib to and essentially BYU run paper is where the disdain comes from? just a possibility...

Hard to guage if the trib has an unfairly negative tone about BYU when there is no neutral base to compare it to.

Really, that is interesting. Someone must have lost their job over this one.

Exceptions don't disprove the rule. The trend is blatantly obvious.

I don't deny that there is probably a trend. But practically every news
