More on the movie "Good Night and Good Luck"

I'm watching actor George Clooney on Letterman right now.
He's discussing his latest movie, "Good Night and Good Luck."

For those of you who missed my earlier post, the film chronicles legendary newsman Edward R. Murrow, a Guilford County native, during his Red Scare struggles against Sen. Joe McCarthy.

Clooney plays a supporting role as CBS News executive Fred Friendly.
The film opens Oct. 7.

The title, by the way, recalls the words Murrow used to close each newscast. (Now you know where Ted Baxter got the inspiration for "Good night and good news.")

I feel like a hall monitor, but you might want to check out the comments under "A disturbing email and shallow thinking"

They range from "Shut your piehole B----" to "Go to H---, F---wad"

Thanks
