The St. Pete Times provides a tiny amount on the Wart-featuring “documentary” on HBO June 29, Shouting Bores:
This sprawling documentary focuses on the most extreme combatants in the fight over free speech in America, throwing off a lot of heated rhetoric without much enlightenment. Recounting how former University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill lost his job amid controversy over a pointed essay on the 9/11 attacks, the film fails to explore several legitimate criticisms about Churchill while casting him as the victim of a right-wing witch hunt. The filmmakers here seemed to forget that good journalism often works best with a little context.
Like lying, fraud, plagiarism, bullying, lying (oh, I already said
that). . .
