Scorn in the U.S.A.?
Fox News ^ | 9/29/04 | Fox News

Rocker Bruce Springsteen says the media has, "let the country down [and] ... taken a very amoral stand" this election cycle, insisting, "You get tabloid news, you get blood-and-guts news, you get news shot through with a self-glorifying facade of patriotism, but you have to sift too much for the [real] news.”

What Bruce doesn't seem to understand is that the MSM chose ideology over making money. If the "Right Wing" is pressuring them it wouls only increase viewership and circulation due to a more fair and balanced report.

Springsteen turned into a koolaid drinking maroon.

Oh, the "real" news must be the coverage of America as evil and wrong at all times, in all places.

Bruce, buy a dish and get Al-Jazeera...you'll love it. Or hell, you can even watch BBC for free if you prefer...

If you can't jam anymore, than run your mouth. Anything for attention.
If it wasn't for these antics I doubt anyone would remember him. He is an old "used to was".

Hey, Bruce, your opinion ain't worth a penny more than mine, so shut up and get off the tube. That's fair enough, Mr. Populist?

Remember Frank Zappa's quote about Rolling Stone Magazine -- People who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

Springsteen also said that he gets his news thanks to the New York Times and the op/ed efforts of Maureen Dowd and Paul Krugman....

I kid you not.

The Boss is a Boob. Who knew?

I have long suspected it. After two good albums, he has been recycling streets/passion/cars pap for twenty years. His singing is increasingly incomprehensible mumbling. Finally, the giveaway is that everytime he opens his mouth to talk about politics, one wishes he had just kept mumbling in a corner to himself.

I think hollywood and musicians should leave politics up to the politicians. In other words, Shutup and just sing, Springsteen!

Even though his widow donates a lot to Demoncats, Frank was a great man. Is it just me, or has this BS BS been posted 4 days running? Can I suggest a termination with extreme prejudice of any more posts about this irrelevant moron?
