[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS This Morning's Gayle King on Monday cheered a film biography of the hip hop group N.W.A and the greater understanding it created of the controversial "F*** the Police" song. The co-host offered no tough questions for Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson) and his new movie Straight Outta Compton. King explained, "That song, 'F- the Police,' comes at a very crucial time in the movie."  She enthused, "And I think for many people who will see that for the first time, I think it will give them a different understanding of where that comes from. Can you talk about that?" Rather then even pretend to press Ice Cube, King played defense for him, adding, "By the same token, you're not painting the police all with the same brush either."
