George Clooney cemented his auteur status with 2005’s “Good Night, and Good Luck.’
The drama recalled journalist Edward R. Murrow’s clash with Sen. Joseph McCarthy during what later became known as the Blacklist era. Clooney co-wrote and co-starred in a film that earned six Oscar nominations, including Best Director and Best Original Screenplay.
Clooney’s directorial career slumped following the movie’s release. Blame it on duds like “Leatherheads” (2008), “The Monuments Men” (2014), “Suburbicon” (2017″ and “The Tender Bar” (2021).
Now, the actor/director is bringing “Good Night, and Good Luck” to Broadway. It’s a shrewd business move and, according to the star, a chance to praise the legacy media.
Here’s what Clooney said at a New York press conference tied to the play’s arrival.
“It’s a subject matter that is very close to our hearts, which is what [the press] does. Telling the truth and holding truth to power. It’s a play we’re very excited to do.”

Ironically the press in the country today is at its lowest point ever with respect to credibility and with the public. Is this play supposed to restore some of that? Who is going to bother to see it?
He most definitely is on the Diddy tapes. Probably with Obama.
My mother, may she rest with the angels, always said “McCarthy was right”
Loony speaks:
“ It’s a subject matter that is very close to our hearts, which is what [the press] does. Telling the (LIES) truth and holding (POWER) truth to (TRUTH) power. .... ”
We know this because we lived it.
“OCEANS” of media powers swamped all distribution of thought with a sea full of Marxist activism.
Truth was mocked by these atheists & agnostics and became, instead, “my truth” and “Me Too”.
Men were mocked and defamed;marginalized first in Education, K-University. Even recesses were reduced and eliminated.
Opening the door to ignoring God and man, women now wear trousers and tran-”gender” to “be” men, and men to dresses to “be” women.
What greater Lie than these... with EVE on the loose?
Whole Western nations have feminized, including their government and military.
Then, came one man— Trump. One chance.
To Rethink God, Creation, Man. Shame and Mercy.
