Just how do you get an article pulled? I do know that Mormons have a thing about appearances and what they look like in the media, so I would suspect it was more the religion at work than ND.

Brian and his son have bought into the biggest lie, they have been duped for sure. But this story? They went with it, they enjoyed the benefits, so I agree no one is innocent here.
