FAIR's Response
Fact checking results: This claim contains propaganda - The author, or the author's source, is providing information or ideas in a slanted way in order to instill a particular attitude or response in the reader
There is no evidence of this - it is speculation on the part of the author and the author's source.- For a detailed response, see: Did Brigham Young order the massacre?
