In the play, Clooney plays CBS broadcast journalist Edward R. Murrow, who opposes U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy\u2019s early 1950s hunt for suspected Communists. Clooney also directed the film.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On \u201c60 Minutes,\u201d the actor stated that the story\u2019s emphasis on media accountability and the conflict between journalists and political leaders could not come at a more appropriate moment.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen the other three estates fail, when the judiciary and the executive and the legislative branches fail us, the fourth estate has to succeed,\u201d<\/strong> Clooney said about journalism. \u201cABC has just settled a lawsuit with the Trump administration. And CBS News is in the process \u2026 We\u2019re seeing this idea of using government to scare or fine or use corporations\u2014to make journalists smaller.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGovernments don\u2019t like the freedom of the press. They never have,\u201d<\/strong> Clooney continued. \u201cAnd that goes for whether you are a conservative or a liberal or whatever side you\u2019re on. They don\u2019t like the press.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to resolve Trump\u2019s defamation lawsuit against George Stephanopoulos and the network, ABC News agreed in December to pay $15 million and make an apology after the anchor falsely claimed the president-elect was responsible for rape. Trump is currently suing \u201c60 Minutes\u201d<\/strong> and CBS for $10 billion, claiming the news program attempted to deceive voters by showing two distinct edits of his comments from a pre-election conversation with Kamala Harris. The president has demanded the \u201ctermination\u201d <\/strong>of \u201c60 Minutes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump once again attacked the TV show and the actor on his Truth Social page<\/a> after Clooney\u2019s interview on \u201c60 Minutes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy would the now highly discredited \u201960 Minutes\u2019 be doing a total \u2018puff piece\u2019 on George Clooney, a second rate movie star and failed political pundit?\u201d<\/strong> Trump wrote. \u201cHe fought hard for Sleepy Joe\u2019s election and then, right after the Debate, dumped him like a dog. Later, I assume under orders from the Obama camp, pushed all out for \u2018Kamala,\u2019 only to soon realize that was not going to work out too well. \u201960 Minutes\u2019 even fraudulently inserted Fake answers into her disastrous interview, aired just before Election Day, in one of the most embarrassing and dishonest events in broadcast history\u2026And now George Clooney again? His press agent should be making a fortune!!!\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
