People magazine reported at the time that Abernathy also recalled Rev. King knocking another woman "across the bed." But Gumbel says "print the legend."

[miss marmelstein]

I have no problem printing the legend (thank you, Liberty Valance) but make it across the board: no more crap about George Washington or Robert E. Lee, either.

[bboop]

I have no problem printing the legend either. All the other stuff is innuendo and slime, and fits better in movie mags should you want them. It really makes everything so tawdry imho.

Bryant Gumbel must be strongly disliked in the TV business, even after all this time. As strong a Trump-Hater he is, I’m surprised he’s not on the air spouting his venom. Not even the Dems want to deal with Bryant in today’s world.
They already have Don Lemon and Joi Reid to tow the line.

I have lots of issues with ‘The Legend”

Let’s call this “hypocrite preacher man” out just like the left loves to do to Reagan, Trump, the Founding Fathers, white males, Christians, et al

Let people see the REAL “Doctor” Martin Luther King

[Savage Beast]

Hey, Briant! Print the TRUTH. About this and everything else.

[nickcarraway]

I believe, "Print the legend," is a reference to the movie, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance.

[Paulie]

What happened to ‘speaking truth to power’, Gumball?

How do these hypocrites look themselves in the mirror?

MLK worship is a sickness

[miss marmelstein]

I’m sick of all the innuendo and rumors about some of our best leaders, white or black. It’s so destructive to the fabric of America. But that, of course, are what the Marxists are about.

How about MLK’s plagiarism in his doctoral dissertation???

There won’t be any allegations of sexual harassment against MLK.

But Gumbel says "print the legend."

Ok...does that means liberals will stop talking about Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings? PRINT THE LEGEND!

[keving]

I want all the streets and monuments removed by MLK and Kennedy. Women haters and abusers.

[TnTnTn]

And Michael Jackson was musically talented....

Thanks EnglishOnly.

[dfwgator]

And Hitler was a good painter.

[BenLurkin]

He was but....most of all he was a sick pervert.

[Fedora]

They did effectively censor it, by ordering King’s FBI files sealed until 2027.

[MayflowerMadam]

Is this referring to King’s illegitimate kid(s)?
