Maybe they're aware that a study was done where the people got WORSE after others prayed for them.

Alex Trebek’s actual quote:

“I’ve had a couple million people out there who have expressed their good thoughts, their positive energy and their prayers. I told the doctors, this has to be more than just the chemo...”

I couldn't give two sh!ts about what others think.
I pray every night for Alex, and have since he announced he had this cancer, and will keep praying for him.
I am a living poster boy for prayer.

I know for sure prayer does great things, and I am living proof of that.

Bob.

Thanks for sharing the difference. Why wouldn't they include that?

I have been a " African American Independent "(who votes 95% of the time ) " Democratic Party " and I pray for the total complete recovery of Alex Trebek from pancreatic cancer.

Not surprised. NBC, and MSNBC are owned by Far Left Comcast. They are backing, and financing Biden, by the way.

Yeah, a station editing content for unknown reasons is much sicker than having a frequently fatal disease. Personally, I'd take the editing over the disease anytime.

So what? NBC didn't have to devote any news time to Trebek. It's not censorship. They have no obligation to follow Trebek around and record everything he says and broadcast it. The gist of Trebek's remark was that people are supporting his fight against cancer, and he thinks it is helping. Sorry, little snowflakes, but your outrage is misplaced, your understanding of censorship is deficient, and your self-pity is clear. Poor, poor you.

It's the liars and cranks at NBC. I expect no better from that fake news outfit.
