On March 17, 2006, Washington Post columnist, Charles Krauthammer, wrote an article, titled, "Pandora and Polygamy". His first two paragraphs were as follows.

And now, polygamy.

With the sweetly titled HBO series "Big Love," polygamy comes out of the closet. Under the headline "Polygamists, Unite!" Newsweek informs us of "polygamy activists emerging in the wake of the gay-marriage movement." Says one evangelical Christian big lover: "Polygamy rights is the next civil-rights battle."

Mr. Krauthammer was, of course, referring to the March 20, 2006 (available March 13, 2006) issue of Newsweek magazine. In that issue, Mark Henkel, the National Polygamy Advocate and Founder of the "Christian evangelical polygamy organization," TruthBearer.org, was explicitly quoted, giving his trademark sound-bite about polygamy rights.

Yet, in order to keep readers' attention diverted from the actual source of that quote, Charles Krauthammer neither included Henkel's name nor the organization's name, TruthBearer.org. By thereby failing the journalistic requirement of complete attribution, Mr. Krauthammer's article deprived his readers from 1.) easily finding the source of that soundbite, and 2.) being able to discover more about the modern movement of evangelical Christians calling for "polygamy rights."

Despite such efforts to keep readers' attention on Mr. Krauthammer rather than being journalistically responsibile in giving proper and complete attribution of the "polygamy rights" soundbite which he freely uses for the article, Mr. Krauthammer, nevertheless, has clearly demonstrated his awareness of the TruthBearer.org organization, its Founder Mark Henkel, and especially Mr. Henkel's trademark soundbite. That fact remains. "Polygamy Rights IS the next civil rights battle."
