Deceiving description

The official description from the studio suggests that this documentary might actually delve into the controversy of the eponymous "loudmouth". This would make sense as Sharpton is infamously disdained for his self-serving antics and reputation for bigoted remarks and inciting violence.Instead, the documentary is just a lot of Sharpton praising himself as he loves to do. When they cover incidents where Sharpton lied about events, they don't mention the true facts - they just go along with his fiction then as an alternative history today.I get that most docs take an angle and I figured that this one was obviously going to lean in Sharpton's direction. But this doc is a love letter to the man so why did they name it "loudmouth" and write a description that suggests it might at least pretend to offer some critical thought? If you're one of the handful of people in the country who is actually a fan of this huckster, than you might like this film. For the rest of us, it'll leave you feeling a bit nauseous.

Wheres the Beef?

Full disclosure: I'm a middle aged black man who grew up in NYC. I remember Sharpton from the start.A couple decades ago there was an ABC documentary about him which covered his criminal activities and subsequently becoming a snitch for the FBI. Why isnt that covered here?The Twana Brawley incident put him on the map but its glossed over. So is the Howard Beach incident. Both have been proven to be false racial incidents that he turned racial.Sharpton has gotten rich with race baiting and this so called documentary just glosses over everything he's done to divide the nation.Total Puff Piece.
