"In his latest effort to clarify the Indiana's controversial new "religious freedom" law, embattled Gov. Mike Pence called on lawmakers Tuesday to pass legislation clarifying that it does not allow business owners to discriminate in providing services.

But without a specific proposal in hand, he left a big question unanswered: Will the clarifying language go far enough to extinguish the national firestorm surrounding the new law?"

This seems pretty wild that he is caving so quickly. It doesn't seem like he really thinks he is caving either.

To me this is a sign that liberals/SJWs are firmly winning the culture wars and any Republican presidential candidate will have one hell of a time getting anything like a fair shake in the media this election cycle.

The Republicans have not gotten a fair shake from the national media in over 20 years. But it gets worse and worse every election. To the point that a debate host lied to bail out Obama in a debate when he got cornered.

With all the serious problems facing this country right now... Economic disaster heading our way, ISIS growing, Hillary committing felonies and laughing about it, the main stream media is fixated on this nonstory.

The single largest problem with the USA is the SJW liberal main stream media. Hopefully the internet will allow people with common sense to have a voice and an avenue for news and information that is meaningful.

I can't imagine getting my news only from one of the big three (NBC, CBS, ABC). I would be so uninformed I would be best off to probably not even watch it.

I have been hearing about this, honestly I been trying to tune out of politics lately as it just pisses me off, I used to be very interested and really keep up on things.

I did hear about something interesting on the radio today. I think something like 40 other states have similar laws but as others have pointed out it's easy to go after a republican. Also, I believe Obama voted on a similar law in Illinois years back.

You mean 'the Left'. We already have a word to describe this group, that has been in use for quite some time. And yes, they're winning, which is why I think it is important for groups such as the 'manosphere' to at the very least make a point of identifying as 'the Right'.

From my limited time in the UK I think what you described is basically what most of the people do here - i.e. many Brits have been watching the the BBC and reading the Guardian, Times etc. for so long the just think of it as the "news." Sort of like how a lot of New Yorkers and other liberals think of the New York Times.

I don't think most of these people even bother considering the other side they just look at what sounds and feels good or right and take that position. SJWs are even worse though most don't even know what they are really supporting but will viciously shout down any opponent (or worse).
