That’s the truth. What happens if a newsroom decides to go with a story, and a country or an individual or corporation decides they don’t like it,” he said. “Forget the hacking part of it. You have someone threaten to blow up buildings,” he said, “And all of a sudden everybody has to bow down.” Sony can’t be accused of cowardice for pulling the plug on the Seth Rogen and James Franco flick, Clooney insisted. “Sony didn’t pull the movie because they were scared; they pulled the movie because all the theaters said the were not going to run it. And they were not going to run it because they talked to their lawyers and those lawyers said if somebody dies in one of these, then you’re going to be responsible.” Clooney said of the movie, “This is a silly comedy. But the truth is, what it now says about us is a whole lot. We have a responsibility to stand up against this. “That’s not just Sony, but all of us, including my good friends in the press who have the responsibility to be asking themselves: What was important? What was the important story to be covering here,” he said, blasting the media for lasciviously enjoying the leaks while ignoring Sony’s status as a victim. “They were just enjoying all the salacious s–t instead of saying, ‘Wait a minute, is this really North Korea? And if it is, are we really going to bow to that?’ ” he said. “The hacking is terrible because of the damage they did to all those people,” he said of Sony employees. “Their medical records . . . Social Security numbers.” He added, “Somehow we have allowed North Korea to dictate content, and that is just insane.” Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Filed under george clooney , sony hack , sony pictures , the interview Share this article: Share this: * Facebook * Twitter * Google * WhatsApp * Email * Copy * Read Next 'Shahs of Sunset' star calls off engagement Read Next 'Shahs of Sunset' star calls off engagement Most Popular This Week 1 NBC addresses Jimmy Fallon's drinking NBC addresses Jimmy Fallon's drinking 2 Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office Police: We’re why ‘The Hateful Eight’ is bombing at box office 3 Sean Penn couldn't keep his mouth shut about El Chapo Sean Penn couldn't keep his mouth shut about El Chapo 4 Giada's divorce was her best career move yet Giada's divorce was her best career move yet 5 Here's what Ricky Gervais said to Mel Gibson Here's what Ricky Gervais said to Mel Gibson 6 Rocker Wayne Static's widow commits suicide Rocker Wayne Static's widow commits suicide Share Selection Awards season 2016 [jenner-gervais.jpg?quality=100&strip=all&w=260&h=174� 38;crop=1] Caitlyn Jenner fires back at Ricky Gervais Sightings Comedian Dave Chappelle appears on stage during MTV's Total Request Live at the MTV Times Square Studios September 8, 2003.
