Apparently Angelina was at the premiere of her new movie “A Mighty Heart” which is the story of a journalist who was kidnapped in the middle east and executed for his cause. The movie supports Reporters Without Borders who seek to protect journalists against persecution and to combat censorship and laws that undermine press freedom. Well, Angelina is being labeled a hypocrite due to the fact that at this particular gala, she decided that she didn’t want the press to ask her any questions in regards to her personal life or anything that related to her outside of the movie and was attempting to force the reporters covering the event to sign a contract stating this.
So just to make sure we got this right. Angelina Jolie is at her movie promoting freedom of the press and the combat of censorship and she is attempting to undermine the freedom of the press and tell them the questions they can and can not ask. She even went as far as to ban some members of the press from even showing up. Yeah, that about sums it up. Well, needless to say it did not go over to well with the press. Several of tham actually refused to even cover the opening. Do you blame them?
