Original Message What is this I see in the media?

Every news outlet says the Gay Cake ruling was a 'narrow ruling'.

But read deeper into the story and you will find the decision was 7 - 2.

That's over 77% of the Supreme Court... what is the media trying to do?

An example...

In narrow ruling, Supreme Court gives victory to baker who refused to make cake for gay wedding

The U.S. Supreme Court gave a boost to advocates of religious freedom on Monday, ruling that a Colorado baker cannot be forced to make a cake for a same-sex wedding, in a case that involved marriage equality and protection from discrimination.

But the opinion was a narrow one, applying to the specific facts of this case only. It gave no hint as to how the court might decide future cases involving florists, bakers, photographers and other business owners who have cited religious and free-speech objections when refusing to serve gay and lesbian customers in the wake of the Supreme Court's 2015 same-sex marriage decision.
