More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.

On Monday’s NBC Today, co-host Savannah Guthrie described “a bizarre legal fight in California” that “pits a group of nuns against their own archdiocese and music superstar Katy Perry...over who gets to buy a former convent.”

In the report that followed, correspondent Hallie Jackson proclaimed: “It's stunningly beautiful, incredibly private, yet right in the heart of L.A. But the battle over who gets to buy it and sell it sounds like the set-up to a punch line. What do you get when you cross the Catholic Church, Katy Perry, a group of nuns, and all their lawyers? Nobody knows yet.”
