How many people really want to have hard left political views jammed down their throats while they are getting ready for work in the morning, generally before the first cup of coffee? As the ratings indicate, not many. Good riddance.

That pretty much sums it up.

Here are some HIGHLIGHTS OF GUMBIE'S HISTORY OF LIBERAL BIAS.

[Cicero]

This was published by UPI. Good grief, it sounds more like a Freeper talking.

I remember, back when I used to watch TV, seeing Gumble on the air and finding him rather a pleasant fellow. He was round, he smiled a lot, and he seemed very cheerful. Pleasant to watch. If he was left-wing back then, he kept it to himself.

He was a good entertainer. But he went sour when he started thinking of himself as a serious, politically informed news person. And his bosses went wrong when they failed to notice that, with this change in personality, his rating started to go down the tubes. They waited maybe five or ten years too long to fire him. Their bosses should fire them for gross incompetence in letting this fiasco continue for so long. Hard to fire a black man? Then find another black man with some common sense and audience appeal.

[What Is Ain't]

Good riddance.

Accurate attitude though massively understated.

"The reason for this, in my opinion, is Gumbel himself. He has the reputation of being hopelessly left wing and rarely, if ever, tries to hide his political leanings."

I don't think his political leanings are his problem.  Why?  Because all of the major networks news/entertainment anchors are leftist/socialist/communists.  Gumbel's problem is he is simply a major asshole.  But then again so are the rest of them.  He only does asshole slightly better than the rest.

He'll probably end up at NPR, where his views will be appreciated because they coincide with those already there.

I'm betting there is more to this. Gumball is such a flaming, arrogant, no-talent clymer that there must be more to his "I want to do something with my life" claim. His hangers on must know that he can't make any money in and environment where Gumball's ultra leftie tilt isn't standard. The only other place where such a tilt is OK is in democrat politics and Gumball simply isn't bright enough to steal as much as would be necessary at the begining to maintain his posse.

My bet is that someone has something on him. Either a wife or girl friend has given him an ultimatum or someone has pictures of him with a male or records of something he did or said that was even dumber or more arrogant than usual. This is a quest for the creative press guys at the Inquirer or one of those other journals that don't fall in the left wing, extreme liberal as does Gumball.

Thanks, for this post/thread.

This left wing black racist will probably end up on CNN.

I hope that he does and get a contract bigger than LarRRRRRRRY King. Then the left wing black racist can drive away more people.

Maybe, he and Zahn can co host a hate America, Boy Scouts and conservatives show and really drive more people away from CNN. The combination of Gumble and Zahn would be a conservative's dream in how to drive a stake into the heart of CNN. Gumble/Zahn would hasten the self destruction of CNN!

The best thing about all these clymers losing their jobs of peddling left wing hate mantras, is the top management at the TV nets are so liberal they can see what the problem is. So they will continue to imploded and self destruct while ignoring the reality of the comment below:

To the left wing maggots in charge of TV phoney news and screaming leftist head shows, keep on doing what you have been doing. Hire more left wing maggots like Gumble and prime time them, please!

Gumbel, what a discusting piece of garbage, just in time for pickup!!

[reformed_democrat]

Interviewing comedienne Whoopi Goldberg on August 17, 2000, Gumbel asked . . . "What about this turn towards what's called family values? The right turn doesn't seem to concern you?"

Goldberg replied with a question of her own, "What's wrong with family values?" to which Gumbel replied, "It's generally been a code word for less inclusion."

Gumbel is to the left of Goldberg?
Could it be that he's so far out in left field he's left earth's atmosphere and is suffering from oxygen deprivation?

I for one will cheer when Bryant Dumbel retires forever!

[Lancey Howard]

Whoa....
Good post, but it seems a lot of time to waste on such an utter scumbag as Gumbel.
Hopefully, the guy will now just fade away from public view.

[Intolerant in NJ]

Gumbel blamed American conservatives for the terrorist bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building...leftwing version of profiling.......
