Perhaps I'll use a different word next time as some people are genuinely confused, but to suggest that it is somehow a deliberate effort to "downplay" the baker's win is absurd. Our job is to quickly tell readers about the nationwide implications of any Supreme Court ruling

Yep. & not just a former judge; a former TX Supreme Court justice. It's even more pernicious. He's intentionally spreading a false narrative to discredit the media among uninformed folks on the political right, supporting POTUS anti-media strategy.https://twitter.com/seanhecht/status/1004013831431974912 …
