Bryant Gumbel returned to a morning TV anchor chair on Monday, November 1, 1999. According to MRC President Brent Bozell, "for 15 years, Mr. Gumbel used another morning program as a daily platform for personal liberal bias masquerading as news and commentary." Bozell explained that "like everyone else, Mr. Gumbel is entitled to his own opinions -- but not to his own set of facts. Yet he repeatedly used his anchor status to slant the facts to support his personal liberal opinions, misinforming millions."
The October 26, 1999, issue of USA Today reported on Bozell's letter to CBS News, commenting: "One of Bryant Gumbel's frequent critics is after him again, less than a week before the former Today anchor returns to morning TV on CBS' The Early Show. In a letter to CBS News president Andrew Heyward, Brent Bozell, head of the conservative watchdog group Media Research Center, warns that the new show could be a vehicle for 'liberal propaganda.' CBS dismissed Bozell's comments, calling Gumbel 'fair and tough.'"
According to MRC Vice President for Research and Publications Brent Baker, "short of Geraldo Rivera, few have done as much as Bryant Gumbel to lower the standards of professional TV journalism. As an interviewer, he can’t even pose a question without stumbling over his own liberal bias, and we have the audio- and videotape to prove it."
Bryant GumBall knows little to nothing about football!!!! What he does know about is how to be an @sshole to conservative guests when he was a morning show anchor. Get rid of him on NFL Network, and I’ll be more likely to petition my local carrier for it. Depends on who replaces him.
My trifecta is having Troy Aikman and Joe Buck call the game on Fox with Ed Hockles reffing.
I strongly suspect Gumbel won’t be with the NFL Network covered games next season.
He comes across as unprepared, and uncaring about it.
Only an idiot hack from the Slimes would describe the retarded gum-ball this way. Then again, they are the journalistic dynamo that didn't know who Dale Earnhart was or why it was news when he was killed. Pathetic yet scarey that they continue to walk unnoticed among us.
