Sarandon Rips Press: “Thelma & Louise” star Susan Sarandon is taking shots at the media. “The Persian Gulf War will stand as (a) low point in American journalism,” she says in a Washington Post interview about her new film. Sarandon chastises reporters for going along with the military pool system and not being more aggressive. “To accept without any outrage these limitations just from the point of historical gathering of information is alarming. I just don’t understand what you people could have thought. . . . Nobody checked a thing. You all just bought into the myth that the war was inevitable, that it was saving people.”
