Wednesday’s CBS This Morning raved over the new movie Spotlight, which touts the work of the investigative reporters at the liberal Boston Globe who chronicled the Catholic priest sex abuse scandal in the Archdiocese of Boston. Gayle King gushed, “Gosh, that movie was so good.” She later labeled the movie “very powerful.”
Fill-in anchor Kristen Johnson asserted that the new release was “such a fantastic movie.” The morning newscast brought on left-wing actor Mark Ruffalo and the Boston Globe correspondent he played in the movie, Mike Rezendes.
Johnson set up Rezendes to praise the movie, along with his profession: “When you saw the movie, were you pleased with how real it was?” The guest replied, “Yeah. I think the movie is incredibly authentic….I love the message that it gives about investigative reporting. I love the message it gives about clergy sex abuse.”
