CNN's Cuomo Revolted By 'Price is Right' Music at GOP Rally; Omits Bob Barker Backed Candidate

On the 12 March 2014 edition of New Day, CNN's Chris Cuomo played up how Florida Republican David Jolly's campaign played The Price is Right theme music at his victory rally on Tuesday, and remarked that its use was somehow a perfect sign of the influence of big money in political races: "What a metaphor for what politics has become – that they are playing the theme song of The Price is Right when they celebrate a victory, because it's about the money! It makes me sick."

What Cuomo didn't realize is that the former host of The Price is Right, Bob Barker, endorsed Jolly. NewsBusters executive editor Tim Graham noted NPR's reporting on Barker's endorsement in a December 2013 item.
