CNN’s Chris Cuomo has been accused of politicizing Alex Trebek’s cancer diagnosis by praising the Jeopardy! host for putting facts first during a time of “rampant truth abuse in our politics.”
“In a time that is all about what is keeping us apart, we got tough news today about someone who has always brought America together, literally for decades,” said the host of Cuomo Prime Time Wednesday after Trebek’s cancer announcement. “In a time of shallow beliefs and rampant truth abuse in our politics and beyond, every night he makes facts first.”
