Media credulity

The media is far too credulous in dealing with "Mormon leaks". The most recent  hype about "secret baptisms" is by far the worst. To begin with, the authenticity of the claims are hard to verify. Next, the article lacks any attempt to discuss the matter of the doctrine involved. Lastly, it ignores the issue that some or many of these people may be direct ancestors of current members of the Church who may have been the ones to submit the names for work.

Next, the headline of "secretly" baptized is just plain false. The Church does not try to make baptism in the temple more of less secret, and to use that word needlessly invokes an air of cover up that was not intended.
