CLOONEY'S ATTACK ON AN AGE OF DISHONESTY

Hollywood star GEORGE CLOONEY has slammed modern broadcast journalism, because he fears viewers are fed lies they want to hear instead of "a common truth".

The OCEAN'S TWELVE heart-throb is amazed by how standards in newsrooms have regressed, despite the ever-growing array of channels, and insists moral standards leave much to be desired.

He recalls, "When I was growing up there were three networks and basically the same information.

"Now, because we've fractioned into little pieces, you go look for the things that reinforce what you already believe to be fact and don't get a common truth."

He then went on to add, "Don't you miss the days when everyone in the media was liberal and only gave news from a liberal perspective? I mean, yeah, it was just like today, but regular people didn't know it. Man, I hate when the unwashed masses realize that Big Brother is watching." The Perfect Storm star, whose most recent project was pissing off the entire country of Italy finished by saying, "Oh yeah. It has recently been brought to my attention by my less haggard-looking friend Brad Pitt that there are people starving in Africa. So you should send money right away. But make sure to save some so you can come visit my brand new Vegas casino. Loosest slots in town, baby!"
