'Today' Christmas Gift: Lauer's Apolitical Chat With Rick Warren
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

When during its first half-hour this Christmas morning "Today" moved to a conversation between Matt Lauer and Pastor Rick Warren, I braced myself. Don't tell me, I thought, they're going to get into the invitation Pres.-elect Obama extended him to give the invocation at the Inauguration, and the reaction of some gay-rights groups. Well, surprise! They didn't: not in word or implication. Warren appeared strictly in his role as pastor, and the conversation focused exclusively on the meaning of the day.

The video clip is of the portion of the conversation in which Warren describes the origin and practice of a Warren family tradition of holding a birthday party for Jesus on Christmas Day.

I’m VERY surprised.....maybe NBC is beginning to get it. It is NOT their job to present a particular political point of view....their job is to interview people who make news.

Still hoping all of these networks die soon. Sorry about my unChristmas feelings, but I’m really sick of these potificating leftists.

You have GOT to be kidding.

I think it was Rush who said a while ago to never be fooled by the occasional lapse of the MSM into sanity. It is always the exception to their standard operating procedure. They are like drops in their oceans of leftism.

for you Californians, I believe Good Morning America has Miles McPhearson, Pastor of the ROCK CHURCH and one of the biggest supporters of Proposition 8. Great guy.
