On Thursday, NBC’s Today joined CNN in promoting the latest issue of People magazine, which demanded congressional action on gun violence. At the top of the morning show, co-host Savannah Guthrie heralded: People gets political. The glossy magazine known more for its celebrity scoops and red-carpet fashions wades into one of the most controversial issues in America. Is the magazine taking sides?”

Later, while introducing a nearly three-minute segment on the topic, Guthrie declared: “The entertainment magazine has a call to action of sorts.” Correspondent Stephanie Gosk followed: People magazine has a message for the people, rise up, reach out, and tell Congress to do something.”
