In what can only be described as a commentary masquerading as a news brief, CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley took multiple shots at Indiana and its Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) on Tuesday by complaining about the bill’s length and indirectly using the First Amendment to support opponents of the law.

Following a report from correspondent Adriana Diaz in Indianapolis, Pelley broke the news to viewers that “we may have found the reason for all this confusion” surrounding the law. While interested viewers may have thought Pelley would reveal that a key provision or set of words were included or not in the bill, Pelley instead provided them with something else.
