TIM GRAHAM: Who Can’t Handle the Truth? Crabby Clooney Rants Bari Weiss Is ‘Dismantling’ the Bias of CBS News.
[George] Clooney has energetically pushed the leftist myth of CBS News standing up against McCarthyism under Edward R. Murrow, and constantly comparing that hackneyed leftist crusade to the present day, and who cares if the Soviet Union actually infiltrated the country with spies after World War II? Who cares about The Truth again? Not Clooney. He’s naturally pissed at Bari Weiss for daring to move CBS one inch toward the center.
“Bari Weiss is dismantling CBS News as we speak,” Clooney says. “I’m worried about how we inform ourselves and how we’re going to discern reality without a functioning press.”
For her part, Weiss handled Clooney by inviting him in, sending Variety this statement: “Bonjour, Mr. Clooney! Big fan of your work. It sounds like you’d like to learn more about ours. This is an open invitation to visit The CBS Broadcast Center, where I’m spending the holidays working to relaunch the Evening News with my colleagues. Tune in January 5.”
To the Clooneys, a “functioning press” means going Full Jim Acosta all the time. It’s in the pose and in the lunge at The Right-Wing Enemy, not in the facts. Clooney thinks the Glory Days at CBS apparently include Dan Rather’s Fake News about George W. Bush’s National Guard record, not to mention Rather screaming at his father about Iran-Contra. But he let Robert Redford embarrass himself with the Fake News Movie on that front.
Why does George Clooney have such a virulent case of Bari Derangement Syndrome? As they say in Clooney’s newly adopted nation, perhaps it’s a case of cherchez la femme:
Amal Clooney is closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood and her uncle is an arms dealer who sells weapons to Hezbollah.
No wonder George is trying to destroy the reputation of a brave Jewish woman who speaks against the Radical Islamist Terrorists his wife props up… https://t.co/sZu523XEyO
