Southern Baptist Theological Seminary's own news site, reporting that its president R. Albert Mohler Jr. appeared on ABC's Good Morning America on December 2, 2004 opposite UCC communications director Robert Chase to debate the God Is Still Speaking commercial, which debuted December 1, 2004 depicting bouncers turning away a same sex couple, Black children and a Hispanic girl. A third party, doctrinally opposed institutional account rather than neutral journalism, but its factual claims (the broadcast date, the network segment, both men's quotes) are independently corroborated by mainstream press coverage of the same event.

Tier three: a doctrinally opposed institution's own account of a public debate it participated in, not neutral journalism. Used only for the well corroborated core facts, the December 2004 broadcast date and the Good Morning America segment, cross checked against the Baltimore Sun's independent news coverage of the same campaign.
