ABC, CBS, and NBC's morning and evening newscasts punted on covering an openly-homosexual pastor dropping his lawsuit against Whole Foods on 16 May 2016, after accusing the grocery chain of including the word "fag" on a cake he ordered from a location in Austin, Texas back in April 2016. Jordan Brown disclosed that "the company did nothing wrong" in a statement, and apologized to the "LGBT community for diverting attention from real issues." By contrast, CNN's New Day on 17 May 2016 devoted a news brief to Brown "admitting the company did not actually decorate the cake that way."
