[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning's Gayle King on Friday offered up almost 12 minutes of air time to Beto O’Rourke in an “exclusive” interview promoting his 2020 presidential launch. At times, the liberal co-host offered some tough questions, repeatedly questioning the Democrat on being a “loser” in Texas. But she also offered up some criticism from the left, suggesting he might just be too “white” for the current Democratic Party. Speaking of the 12 other Democratic candidates, she demanded, “There are more women and more people of color than ever before. Some could say it's the way the party is leaning. That maybe the voters are signaling that's the candidate we want.” King added, “Do you feel at a disadvantage as a white man? As a privileged white man they say about you?”
