How do you spell hypocrite? Apparently it's J-O-L-I-E as the puff-lipped actress proves by banning Fox News from being permitted to interview her to promote her new role as the wife of martyred reporter Daniel Pearl in the upcoming movie "A Mighty Heart." As Jolie touts press freedom, her newest pet cause, she inexplicably put several restrictions on that very freedom of the press -- and not just against Fox News.
Fox News' Roger Friedman reports Jolie's hypocrisy.
'Mighty' Hypocrite Angelina Jolie Bans FOX and Others From Premiere
But Jolie turns out to be a mighty hypocrite when it comes to her own freedom of the press. Her lawyer required all journalists to sign a contract before talking to her, and Jolie instructed publicists at first to ban FOX News from the red carpet of her premiere.Ironically, Wednesday night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders. Jolie, however, did everything she could to clamp down on the press and control it.
Do none off these Hollywierd people have even the tiniest ability at introspection? Or are they so absolutely sure of their own god-like status that the fallibility of ordinary man is beyond their kin in their minds? Are they so focused on their ultimate goals that the path to them is immaterial? Is integrity such an unknown concept out on the left coast?
She wasn't done with just attempting to ban Fox from the red carpet, either.
Reporters from most major media outlets balked Wednesday when they were presented with an agreement drawn up by Jolie's Hollywood lawyer Robert Offer. The contract closely dictated the terms of all interviews.Reporters were asked to agree to "not ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships. In the event Interviewer does ask Ms. Jolie any questions regarding her personal relationships, Ms. Jolie will have the right to immediately terminate the interview and leave."
The agreement also required that "the interview may only be used to promote the Picture. In no event may Interviewer or Media Outlet be entitled to run all or any portion of the interview in connection with any other story. ... The interview will not be used in a manner that is disparaging, demeaning, or derogatory to Ms. Jolie."
If that wasn't enough, Jolie also requires that if any of these things happen, "the tape of the interview will not be released to Interviewer." Such a violation, the signatory thus agrees, would "cause Jolie irreparable harm" and make it possible for her to sue the interviewer and seek a restraining order.
What can I say further? I'd love to expound on this story, but there really isn't anything more that can be gainfully said.
Like most in Hollywierd, Jolie is an utter hypocrite.
That's about the whole length and breadth of this story.
The worst thing is, knowing how these people are, the media still fall all over themselves to give such people the kind of air time they desire to flog their causes.
But she’s hot!
I once interviewed Edward Teller at the National Press Club.
Before I turned on my tape recorder, Dr. Teller insisted on two things: 1) Nothing he said could be edited and 2) He would only answer FIVE questions.
A brilliant man, but a real PITA. :)
Crazy and a hypocrite? Sounds like you are referring to Courtney Love.
There is a sequence in the documentary Kurt and Courtney where phoned threats against a reporter are played against footage of Courtney winning some kind of “free speech advocate” award (maybe from the ACLU?).
I don’t recall if they extended into death threats against the reporter or not.
pics?
I want to know what she and Brad are doing (or not doing) to their kids. They NEVER smile. Sad.
The kids have probably been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements.
Not really...tattooed freak is more like it.
Yes, and some people said the same thing about Jane Fonda. I guess if you’re pretty enough you can get away with anything.
Why don’t the press just IGNORE her, en masse? Her head would explode!
Brad and Jolie signed pre-nups and the kids had to sign sign pre-natals.
Just a warm place to grow STDs.
Interesting how the leftists, from Jolie to all the Democrat Presidential candidates, want Fox out of the equation.
It’s not as if Fox toes the conservative line, it’s more that it’s the one major broadcast outlet that doesn’t work to actively advance “the agenda.”
Amazing how shaky “the agenda” is, then, when it can’t even withstand a “fair and balanced” newscast.
