Empires of New York

Minus the mobster "Gotti" storyline, this documentary struck me as propaganda and a smear job of several influential New York characters during the 80s. "Has-been" reporters with no current credentials or subject matter expertise, spent 6 episodes trying to convince viewers of a particular spin of historical events from one of the most important decades in recent US History. Viewers should no waste time watching this terrible excuse for a historical documentary. I would not be surprised if many of the slandered "empires" file lawsuits against NBC after viewing this rubbish. Glass house all the way - from the commentary given by the press members who participated in this attempted "reputation destruction" of the subjects for this documentary. Very disgusting!
