The media aren't so much anti-Mormon as they are practiced at their art of supporting only the left. The two important facts about the media and religion are 1) they don't like anyone who believes in God or anything other than the most abstract way and 2) they make a point of mocking anyone who is Catholic, a Fundamentalist, or any other traditional Bible Believing Church, because they know they can divide Christian conservatives. No matter what church a conservative goes to there are other conservatives who will refuse to vote to them due to their being a part of that church.
The media beating on the religion or religious outlook of a conservative candidate is just another of the divide and conquer tactics they always apply and that always works for them. If they don't think they can peel away a lot of support mocking the religion of a conservative, they'll make a bit of noise about it, then gather all the information they can about it to use later when they accuse the conservative of doing something that contradicts their religion. Any way they can, they make use of the fact that a significant number of conservatives are more likely to refuse to vote for specific sorts of fellow Christians than they are to vote for Secular Humanist who says "my faith is very important to me" but otherwise is obviously not putting their faith into practice.
Christians sow divisions among fellow Christians and the democrat fascists reap the harvest.

You are assuming Mormons are Christians. They are not, not by a long shot.
Any way they can, they make use of the fact that a significant number of conservatives are more likely to refuse to vote for specific sorts of fellow Christians...
Are you claiming that Mormons are "fellow Christians?" Or am I misreading this comment of yours?
Did you know that the official doctrine of the Mormon church -- found in Doctrine & Covenants 1:30 -- is that the Mormon church is the "ONLY true and living church on the face of the earth"???
Did you know that official Mormon doctrine is that all Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christian churches are all "apostate?" (How is that any different than Muslims who label Christians as "infidels?")
Mormons love the brand name "Christian" -- so on the surface it at times sound like they want a "kum ba yah" let's-all-hug moment...but officially in their doctrines & "scriptures" label historic Christian churches and their bodies and creeds in the worst ways.
If a Mormon regularly visits a Christian church, they are at risk of ex-communication. They claim ONLY temple Mormons will live with Heavenly Father forever. Does that sound like "we're all one big happy family" to you?
You might have a point if mormonISM were Christianity, it is not.
