<snip>

It takes a celebrity both brave and secure in their own status to first demand an apology from the media behemoth that is the Daily Mail empire and then reject that apology as insincere and deceitful. Unfortunately for the Mail, George Clooney is both those things.

Further escalating his three-day showdown with the British newspaper and its entertainment-based website, Mail Online, now the world's most-read internet paper, Clooney on Friday aggressively dismissed the title as "the worst kind of tabloid".

Giving a statement to USA Today, the actor and director rejected a rare apology offered by the Mail earlier this week, and accused the tabloid of a "premeditated lie" and being engaged in a coverup.

The confrontation began on Wednesday when Clooney demanded a retraction after Mail Online said the Lebanese mother of his fiancee, Amal Alamuddin, objected to the pair's impending marriage on religious grounds.

At the time, Clooney said the article was entirely confected, and was designed to stir up non-existent religious differences in a celebrity story. It was "at the very least negligent and more appropriately dangerous," Clooney complained.

Bravo George Clooney! The Daily Mail is the print version of Fox News. They make up RW shit to spread hatred and fear.

2. That's how you deal with these LIARS with an agenda

of racism, hate, fear and non-stop warmongering.

3. They are the worst of the worst and should have been put out of business years ago.

I don't understand people who support these enterprises by buying them. I can only assume they think that these stories put the rich and powerful in their place and enjoy that kind of retribution. It's not "all part of the game" and I was sick of it years ago. Bravo George Clooney indeed. It won't ever stop them, nothing does, but hopefully they will leave you and your fiancé alone for awhile.
