“The Megyn Kelly Show” host Megyn Kelly has ripped George Clooney’s appearance on CBS’ 60 Minutes.
The 63-year-old was interviewed on the television program to promote his debut on Broadway, where he will play journalist Edward R. Murrow in ‘Good Night and Good Luck’.
During the interview, Clooney said the story has parallels to today with the battles faced by the media.
“He’s got a lecture for the press in this very difficult era. You might say democracy dies in darkness is the thrust of his message, but how the media really needs to step up and not abandon its core ideals now more than ever,” Ms Kelly told Sky News host Paul Murray.
“He thinks he’s in a position to lecture us, yes, because he played a journalist on TV or on the big screen in a very silly movie called One Fine Day, where he was across from Michelle Pfeiffer, she was really more the star, and he played a reporter for the New York Daily News. That was 30 years ago.
“I guess he thinks it makes him into an actual journalist or editor of a newsroom, which he’s not.”
