Clooneys visit FNC…
George and Nick Clooney made what some might consider an unlikely appearance on FNC today. As part of their Darfur media blitz the father-son tandem dropped in on Studio B with Shepard Smith today. The two talked about their visit to the Darfur region of Sudan to draw attention to the crisis in the region and called for international help.
Kind of amazing how Clooney can bring more mainstream attention to a story that Nick Kristoff has been banging his head in futility over for the longest time now (including picking, what some considered a stupid fight with Bill O’Reilly over the issue).
Thanks for drawing attention to Darfur!!!
I am in Europe and can’t attend the Darfur rallies across the U.S. on April 30th. Therefore I am organizing an online rally for Darfur together with many other German Bloggers.
I blog for the Atlantic Review, a press digest on transatlantic affairs edited by three German Fulbright Alumni.

CNN issues a press release about Clooney appearing on TSR, then he shows up on FNC first..

Totally an unlikely appearence, but FNC seems to be getting all the good first interviews first these days.

I watched both the Studio B interview and portions the Wolf Blitzer interview.
I was struck by the difference. Shepard kept the interview on Dafur. Wolf took the interview back to US politics , including Hilary Clinton.
Did anyone see the entire CNN interview? How on topic was it?
