CBS’s King Prompts Bruce Springsteen to Bash Trump: ‘Frightening Time’ (UPOS alert!)
newsbusters.org ^ | 10/25/2019 | Scott Whitlock

For the second time in two days, CBS This Morning managed to twist a light segment into something political. Co-host Gayle King interviewed Bruce Springsteen, but decided to goad the liberal singer into discussing 2020. After playing a recent clip of Donald Trump King, King pressed, “So he's going back to 2016. This is now 2019. Are you surprised that he's trash talking you after all this time?”

The journalist prompted, “I mean, a lot of people are very concerned about the direction of the country.” Springsteen replied, “It's just frightening. We're living in a frightening time. The stewardship of the nation has been thrown away to somebody who doesn't have a clue as to what that means.”

Regarding 2020, King attempted to find out which Democrat the singer supported: “Well, you know, you campaigned Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Is there anybody if they called you said, ‘Okay, I'll go out?’”

Springsteen was a big backer of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. But, King is also a Democratic donor. No wonder it was a comfy interview.

On Thursday, CBS brought on British royal expert Tina Brown to supposedly talk about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Instead, the former Newsweek editor slammed the “racist” “Brexit England.”

What a UPOS. I never liked his shtick. If not for his backing musicians, he'd be nuthin'.

Most over rated, male singer of all time. Worst voice. I don’t even think the guy sings in key.

He was a good local band entertainer in Philly. God a following because his music sounded great when you were smashed on your keester.

Bruce Springsteen and Bryan Adams were both all-in for Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama’s “transgender” bathrooms.

I guess none of us should have beem surprised.

Used to marvel at the praise and adoration heaped upon this guy.

Didn’t get him then. Don’t get him now.

Just one more idiot stick with the IQ of an old wet mop.

I’ve never liked this jerk.

His “music” always sounded pretentious to me.

I know. I have listened to the Born To Run album countless times. I can’t do it anymore, even Jungleland.

Remember Lee Iaccoca wanting to use that song for a Chrysler commercial? Clearly Mr. Iaccoca (RIP) never actually listened to the lyrics.

Probably 99% never got past “Born in the USA” part.

Exactly! Saw him at the Count Basie and Stone Pony back in the mid-late 70’s. I never could understand why my friends loved his music.. I thought it was just ok. IMO, he always tried too hard to be a common man.
