Well...See thats the problem with Editorial control. We cant really know that.
The show focused on some of Jordan's warts, you're right, but really only the ones already widely known about.
I'm not saying that we need some sort of no-holds-barred investigative expose or anything but there isnt much point in a focused documentary if the subject of that focus controls the content.
Its not as though there were cheerleaders with pom-poms cheering Jordan on....wait...there were....thats not really the point though.
Its just not showing us anything that wasnt already known, in which case it really is just a puff piece, albeit an interesting and well put together one.
My favourite part of the entire thing has been:
"Barack Obama: Former Chicago Resident"
I think hes known for having done some other things since then. I cant quite put my finger on what exactly, but things...
