George Clooney had some stern words for cable news networks playing the Trump card during his press conference at the Cannes Film Festival yesterday. After proclaiming, “There is not going to be a President Donald Trump. It’s not going to happen,” Clooney noted, “Trump is actually a result in many ways of the fact that much of the news programs didn’t follow up and ask tough questions. That’s the truth. It’s really easy because your numbers go up… All these cable news numbers. 24-hour news doesn’t mean you get more news, it just means you get the same news more.”
