CNN's Costello claims "Springsteen-loving" white men now vote GOP, but doesn't note the Boss's own politics

SUMMARY: In a CNN segment on a new book purporting to tell, in Wolf Blitzer's words, "exactly why white men are leaving the Democratic Party," correspondent Carol Costello asked, "[W]hat's a [Bruce] Springsteen-loving white man to do? Recent history says, 'Vote Republican.' " In fact -- as Costello herself noted at the conclusion of the segment -- Democrats "picked up 6 percent more white men" in the 2006 midterm election. Further, Springsteen himself campaigned for Democrat John Kerry for president in 2004 and recently said of the Bush administration: "I think that we've seen things happen over the past six years that I don't think anybody ever thought they'd see in the United States."
