HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood activist George Clooney has launched a scathing attack on the media, accusing journalists and producers of neglecting their responsibilities to their country. The Ocean's Eleven star is a vocal opponent of President George W. Bush--and he believes the media has betrayed the public by not reporting the truth about the Bush administration.
And Clooney, who joined Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel last week to address the United Nations Security Council about the problems in Darfur, blames the American public for focusing on reality TV shows instead of real news.

Why, it sounds like a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!
"...he believes the media has betrayed the public by not reporting the truth about the Bush administration. "
Somehow I agree with that statement but not in the same way whats his face does.
Actors act!!!! That is all the a-wipe is doing. Only one of them had real cajones and his name was Reagan.
Run your mouth George....and piss off those in the red states.
Clooney. . . blames the American public for focusing on reality TV shows instead of real news.
This comment from one who makes his living by making movies which are directed at focusing the publics attention on him and not the real problems in the world. What a hypocrite.
George who????
Well I'll agree with that part.
Everything else is Barbara Streisand.
Oh really...how so?
Yeah, George, your fans are screwy.
Sure, THAT will sell.
>>he believes the media has betrayed the public by not reporting the truth about the Bush administration.<<
Either he is a self absorbed idiot, or he knows something.
I vote for the former.
The legacy of the Bent One is that Hollywood is now a political force purchased with donations to the DNC, and they are "entitled" now to a forum for espousing their bent views in front of the American public, as if they have the eutopian answers to all the world's problems in their pin heads..........
cLOONEY you idiot. The media's done all it can. Where shall we start? Plamegate? Rathergate? Gitmogate? 9-11 history cover-up-gate? Katrinagate? Iraqgate?
LIES LIES AND MORE LIES. LEAVE THEM ALONE LOONEY. THEY'VE DONE EVERYTHING THE COULD DO AND MORE FOR YOUR SORRY ASS POLITICAL VIEWS.

You beat me to it.
That reminds me . Did you see the picture of Babs sagging braless boobs today.. EEEEUUUUUUUwww!
How dare you insult President Clooney.
I'm grateful Rosemary didn't live to see this.
In this movie, Murrow bewailed the big media too as giving too much entertainment to Joe Six Pack. This is elititism to the extreme.
Joe Six Pack liked Milton Berle then and he loves American Idol today. Murrow and Clooney would like to manage the media like Communist China does.
Typical liberal rant. No specifics, just generic whining.
