Why are so many sports “journalists” such complete brain-dead moonbats? Besides the notorious Olberman, so extreme even other moonbats mock him, there is the truly despicable Bryant Gumbel. The latter put in the single most disgraceful performance in the history of broadcast journalism on the morning of 9-11-01, continuing to insist that the attack was not not deliberate even after the second plane hit, and browbeating traumatized eyewitnesses who dared to suggest otherwise. Fortunately, even the networks could not stomach his arrogance forever and he was eventually reduced to narrating UFO propaganda on the Sci-Fi Channel before a pathetic attempt at a comeback in sports, which he naturally ruined with his big mouth.
There is a bad sickness loose in this country and the journalism/advertising/entertainment continuum, the media-industrial complex, is the focus of most of it.

That’s a good question and I haven’t the slightest idea. You’d think sports “jounalists” would stick to the thing they at least claim to know something about. A good number of them aren’t even proficient at that but when they write on other subjects they expose their stupidity.

Well, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Bryant Gumbel did excel in his own area, for instance he raised being a jackass to such levels that he actually made Geraldo Rivera look classy! If I had to choose between Gumbel and Obama to spend an hour with I would probably drink some of Jim Jones’ special beverage.
