The Daily Beast, a once semi-promising rag, plumbs the depths for this non-story about Mickey Rourke supposedly dissing Sean Penn. Non-story because it is totally unreliable, posted merely in an attempt to negatively influence Oscar voters during the height of voting season, and even if true is one person’s opinion, not a public statement. This is the kind of stuff that will ruin The Daily Beast – is it really going to be this kind of outlet? If so, I’ll take it off my RSS.
