Depends if you're listening to sound bite media, or if you're reading more in depth reporting. If it;s sound bite media (e.g. cable news), then you're probably going to be misinformed on many more issues than just Hobby Lobby, I'm afraid. Left and Right leaning media have been doing all of us a disservice for a long time. When yellow journalism reigns, all we get are ad sales packaged as newsworthy information.

While I have to agree with you in general, it seems to me that reporters have really dropped the ball on this. I think I read and listen pretty widely but I haven't heard this point mentioned anywhere. (This is really the reason why I decided to post.. )

I hate to admit it but it appears that the goal of raising outrage seems to have overtaken good reporting even on what I would consider more enlightened and non-partisan outlets.
