'Mighty' Hypocrite Angelina Joile Bans FOX and Others From Premiere
© 2007 FOX News Network, LLC. ^ | Thursday, June 14, 2007 | By Roger Friedman

Angelina Jolie's true colors came out yesterday as she promoted a film about freedom of the press and then tried to censor all her interviews.

Jolie is touting freedom of the press these days, playing the widow of murdered Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl in a new movie called "A Mighty Heart."

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, last night's premiere of the excellent Michael Winterbottom-directed film was meant to support an organization called Reporters Without Borders.

Yesterday, reporters from most major media outlets balked 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 [and] a violation... would ...make it possible for her to sue the interviewer and seek a restraining order.

That's not all: Jolie told Paramount Pictures publicists to ban FOX News Channel and all FOX News affiliates from covering the "Mighty Heart" premiere on the red carpet. It was only with the intervention of mortified Paramount staff that a FNC camera crew was allowed to be present.

It's a little unclear how Mariane Pearl, whom Jolie plays in "A Mighty Heart," feels about her portrayer's position on freedom of press for some, but not all. Yesterday, I spoke to Jeff Julliard, the editorial director of Reporters without Borders in Paris.

"Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job," he said, adding that he condemned Jolie's banning of FOX News

Its funny this fear of Fox news.

One would think that Fox is a bastion of Freepers. Far from it. Fox news sucks as a forum for conservatives its just that it doesnt quite suck as badly as others.

Its hard to imagine a political party that is so frightened that they wont allow Fox to hold a debate for them. No one that is so cowardly they wont appear on a legitimate news source should hold the Presidency.

I wonder if the movie portrays the affair the widow Pearl had with then head of CNN news Eason Jordan (a married man with small children)?

Why does anyone care about a child collecting, anorexic, homewrecker? How can anyone respect a woman who wants to color coordinate her children?

How can liberals oppose a network populated with the likes of the liberal, hysterical, Sister-Journalists Geraldo and Shep Smith?

I was out with a buddy the other night and saw two young ladies in very pretty summer dresses sitting at a table in the bar talking. I was shocked. “What no butt crack showing? No ass or back tattoo? No breast almost falling our of your ‘wife beater’?”

The press should have looked over the contract and said: “no, thanks” and walked. Jolie craves media attention but it should not be strictly on her own terms.

I’d never heard that one before.....I searched it, and found this WaPo piece:

The Mariane Pearl-Eason Jordan Link

By Richard Leiby
Wednesday, March 31, 2004; Page C03

Eason Jordan, a CNN news exec who was deeply involved in the network’s coverage of the kidnapping and murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Danny Pearl, is now romantically involved with Pearl’s widow, Mariane, people familiar with the relationship told us yesterday.

As reports of the relationship swirled through CNN and other news circles, Jordan declined to comment and Pearl did not respond to our inquiries. Married for 16 years, with two children, the Atlanta-based Jordan, 43, got to know Pearl, 36, who now lives in New York, after Islamic terrorists killed her husband in Pakistan two years ago. Colleagues said they don’t know how long Jordan and Pearl have been an item. .................snip

It’s not so hard to imagine a political party so cowardly. I just imagine a democrat.

Simple: because Fox also has the TEMERITY to allow a few conservative voices on the air. Don’t you know that in liberal-land, all dissent is crushed Hamas-style? Take ‘em in the street and shoot them! The reign of justice has begun!
