Clooney hopes to shine light on 'hard' journalism.
I love him, I love him, I love him:loveya:

GEORGE CLOONEY hopes his new movie GOODNIGHT, AND GOOD LUCK will prompt a renewed respect for "good hard" journalism.

The Hollywood actor is directing and appearing in the film, which tells the story of broadcaster EDWARD R MURROW and his on-air confrontations with Senator JOSEPH McCARTHY.

And Clooney, whose father NICK CLOONEY was a journalist and anchorman on and off for 40 years, hopes the film will display the fundamentals of true journalism.

He says, "(I want the film to show) good hard news is not antiquated and hard journalism can exist. (Television) news has now become entertainment instead of a service. I'm allowed to say it, because of my background.

3. Interesting. Though the mention of Clooney and "hard" in the same sentence
conjurs up far more than great journalism!

Sorry. He just such a.......

6. Wow. Could the idea be more great?
And could The Man be more HOTTTT? I will DEFINITELY go to see this film. I hope he manages to get all mussed and scruffy in it. Nothin' like scruffy George Clooney.
