In an effort to get you to eat more tofu, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has come up with a marketing strategy: Make it taste like George Clooney. The animal rights group has been offered the actor’s gym towel and wants to use his sweat to create Clooney-flavored tofu, The Washington Post reports. Clooney has issued a response: “As a mammal, I’m offended.”

Alicia Mundy reports on politics and the movies.
George Clooney attracted a crowd of reporters, activists and political junkies Monday evening when he spoke at a screening of his 2005 film “Good Night and Good Luck” along with his father, longtime journalist and an unsuccessful 2004 Kentucky congressional candidate Nick Clooney.

The movie focuses on legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow during the 1950’s when he helped stop the campaign driven by the late Sen. Joseph McCarthy to flush out alleged communists in the government.

Directed by Clooney, who also starred in the film, the movie is being used by his father in journalism classes at American University in Washington, D.C.. The screening was part of the university’s “Reel Journalism” series at the Newseum, a museum dedicated to news.

Part of the entertainment was the wisecracks traded between father and son. “Never cared for this kid! His sister’s great,” said Nick. “I always wanted to be adopted, couldn’t find anyone,” George quipped in response.

George Clooney said he learned about Murrow and other great journalists from his dad when he was growing in up Kentucky where his father was a TV anchorman and also a columnist in Cincinnati.

A long-time critic of the Iraq war, George Clooney said he wanted the movie to be as accurate as possible, because there was criticism that Hollywood actors were becoming too involved in politics. Clooney said, “I’d been politically active at a time that wasn’t popular,” and took a lot of heat. “I realized if I was going to do a movie like this, I was going to have to get everything right,” he said.

Bill Small, former TV news executive with CBS and NBC, talked about the sense of fear among journalists who questioned the government during the 1950’s and 1960’s. He also pointed out that sober programs such as “60 Minutes” were making money for their networks, adding that he’d been told the franchise had brought in about $2 billion to CBS over the years.

The younger Clooney chimed in with a reminder that you shouldn’t underestimate your audience or play down to them. But his dad Nick wasn’t entirely sure. Noting shifts in audience preferences from news to entertainment, he got the last word, telling the audience: “You will get precisely the news you deserve if you accept mediocrity.” # via the Wall Street Journal
