Apparently very few actually clicked on the link I posted earlier in this thread.
Zumbo's career did not end, and in 2014 the National Shooting Sports Foundation and the Professional Outdoor Media Association gave him the Annual Grits Gresham Award for lifetime achievement, in part for promoting AR-15's and other "modern hunting rifles," particularly on his "Wounded Warriors" TV show.
The NSSF is the shooting industry organization that took over running of the SHOT Show after Reed Expos, the former company, told exhibitors at several shows they ran that AR-15's or other "assault rifles" would not be allowed. POWA was formed in the 1990's after anti-hunters and anti-gunners started infiltrating the older organization named the Outdoor Writer's Association of America, which was formed in the 1920's by hunting and fishing writers. A bunch of hunting and shooting writers quit OWAA and formed the new pro-gun and hunting POMA.
So no, his career was not destroyed. Those who feel it should have been should contact the NSSF, which has more than 12,000 members, including major manufacturers, distributors, firearms retailers, shooting ranges, sportsmen's organizations and publishers.
