In a recent interview on CBS's 60 Minutes, actor and activist George Clooney expressed concerns about the current landscape between the government and the press, framing it as a critical fight for democracy. He criticized media manipulation and suppression of the press by governmental powers, drawing parallels with his Broadway role in 'Good Night, and Good Luck.' Clooney's op-ed, seen as influencing Joe Biden's decision to not seek re-election, underscored the challenges journalists face today in pursuing objective truth.
In today's world, when the judiciary, executive, and legislative branches fail us, the fourth estate must succeed. Governments historically resist the freedom of the press.
Clooney criticized attempts by the Trump administration to manipulate media narratives, emphasizing the necessity for journalists to pursue truth amid increasing press suppression.
