Clint Eastwood’s new film, “Richard Jewell,” about a security guard baselessly accused of setting off a backpack bomb in Atlanta during the 1996 Olympic Games, is now facing serious backlash — including calls for a national boycott — from its own villain: the mainstream media.
On Monday, the Daily Wire’s Paul Bois reported that the Atlanta Journal-Constitution has demanded Eastwood put out a disclaimer ahead of the film’s release, noting to viewers that AJC reporter Kathy Scruggs, who wrote a front page story accusing Jewell of perpetrating the bombing, based, allegedly, on information from an FBI agent determined to solve the crime at all costs, did not have a physical relationship with her FBI informant, as is portrayed in the film.
