In the case of Hobby Lobby’s fight for religious
freedom, what you report is just as important as who you report – at least for
the broadcast networks.
The evening news programs lavishly quoted the
liberal female Supreme Court justices in their Hobby Lobby reports yesterday.
Among ABC, CBS and NBC, the nets recognized only one conservative justice’s
opinion: Chief Justice John Roberts.
On Tuesday, March 25, the United States Supreme
Court heard arguments from craft-store Hobby Lobby and
cabinet-maker Conestoga Wood
Specialties Corp., both owned by Christian families, in the wake of
the Obama administration’s contraception mandate. The mandate would force
employers to supply contraception and abortion-inducing drugs for employees
regardless of religious belief.
The evening of the 25th during “CBS Evening News
with Scott Pelley,” Chief Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford offered the sole
airtime to a conservative justice. Crawford noted Justice Roberts, “suggested
the law’s contraception requirement forced religious business owners to violate
their conscience” and quoted Justice Roberts warning “they [business owners]
have to pay for methods of contraception that they believe provide abortions."
