George Clooney takes on the Daily Mail

Wouldn't it be great if the Daily Mail started to report responsibly, instead of publishing lies and ridiculous stories. George is not taking this lying down, it seems.

Sounds a bit Jeremy Kyle to me GillT57 But I suppose one mustn't be greedy. [Lascivious emoticon]

purple perhaps we could share? Don't want to overwhelm the poor man.

Posted this before, but still worth a listen!

Oh to have the clout of a George Clooney! I note the Mail took the story down and I doubt they will be suing for libel over his claim "the Daily Mail makes up stories — they do it several times a week."
Yet there are still some people who continue to believe that if something is written in a newspaper it 'must be true'. I can't express how delighted I am that George C. has made this stand.

Form an orderly queue Gill75

well, if it all goes badly for George, and his MiL takes great offence, I will take him. he wont have any problems with my mother as a MiL. Just an offer

That was a previous holiday, Aka!

Las Vegas time for a caffeine fix I think.

Law Vegus? I thought it was Magaluf or is that another story?

A very well written piece, good for him!

Well, at least White Dee is no long claiming benefits. That'll make the media lose interest in her.

Well said, George. A moderate and reasoned response to a ridiculous and irresponsible 'story'.

Good for you, George. I've seen outrageous claims being made, and retractions aren't made - other papers pick up on stories as fact and perpetuate them.

It was interesting to see the interview with White Dee from the Benefits Street programme on This Morning. She was given a chance to refute the allegations about her still claiming benefit and being in Las Vegas (at home drinking a cup of tea when she read that she was living it up in the casinos whilst living on handouts).

Well done George. Will the newspapers take any notice - I doubt it.

'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story' seems to be today's mantra. So irresponsible and the consequences don't bear thinking about - I mean in general, not just George Clooney's case.

I echo your post 'good for him'
