We all know that the mainstream media cannot stand anything that has to do with God or morals already so this should not be any surprise.
From Conservative Tribune:
In its story Wednesday night on Trebek’s fight against cancer, NBC’s “Nightly News” removed the “Jeopardy!” host’s mention of “prayers” by his supporters, according to NewsBusters.
First, here’s Trebek’s original quote, as delivered to People:
“I’ve got a couple million people out there who have expressed their good thoughts, their positive energy directed towards me and their prayers,” Trebek told the magazine. “I told the doctors, this has to be more than just the chemo, and they agreed it could very well be an important part of this.”

In the version read aloud Wednesday night by NBC’s Joe Fryer, Trbek’s mention of prayer didn’t quite make the final cut.
“I’ve got a couple million people out there who have expressed good thoughts,” Fryer said, quoting Trebek.
Fryer then skipped Trebek’s mention of “prayers” and moved on to a different part of his quote: “I told the doctors, this has to be more than just the chemo.”
The “and their prayers” part was cut out of the written, on-screen version of the quote as well.
CBS, meanwhile, decided to go a different route in covering this story. The network’s Wednesday broadcast of “CBS Evening News” simply did not include any mention of Trebek’s praise for his fans’ thoughts and prayers. …
Typical.
But in case you needed any more evidence that Alex Trebek is a national treasure, there’s this:
