NBC Slams Indiana Religious Freedom Law...Then Starts Week-Long Series on Faith (NewsBusters)

Early on Monday's NBC Today, fill-in co-host Willie Geist hyped "the growing debate over a controversial law that critics call anti-gay....[who] say it permits businesses, among other things, to refuse service to same-sex couples on religious grounds." Correspondent Gabe Gutierrez followed: "This morning a huge backlash against Indiana's new Religious Freedom Restoration Act and Governor Mike Pence is on the defensive."

Like ABC's Good Morning America and CBS This Morning, Today was promoting left-wing condemnation of Indiana's effort to protect the religious liberty of those opposed to gay marriage. However, things took a particularly odd turn on the NBC morning show when the hosts introduced a week-long series on faith later in the broadcast.
