Ms. Brawley’s spokesman was the Rev. Al Sharpton — a dapper television personality and political commentator these days, but a fiery street activist back then. At a news conference, he named suspects.

“We have the facts and the evidence that an assistant district attorney and a state trooper did this,” Mr. Sharpton said. He called Gov. Mario M. Cuomo a racist and warned that powerful state officials were complicit. When asked whether Ms. Brawley would speak with the state attorney general, Robert Abrams, Mr. Sharpton said that would be like asking someone in a concentration camp to talk to Hitler.

But, as the meticulously researched Retro Report points out this week, it was all a hoax. After seven months, 6,000 pages of testimony and 180 witnesses, a grand jury found Ms. Brawley’s story to be a lie. Neither the police officer nor the district attorney accused by Ms. Brawley and Mr. Sharpton had been involved in any way, the report concluded.

An unaccountably gentle portrait of a pioneering TV asshole, Évocateur: The Morton Downey Jr. Movie posits its namesake’s short-lived talk show (1987–1989) as the template for the subsequent outrage-baiting of Jerry Springer, Sean Hannity, and Glenn Beck—not to mention a natural successor to the paranoia-mongering of Joe McCarthy. Downey wasn’t the first media demagogue, but his legacy, as one interviewee optimistically puts it, was his “passion,” as well as what another calls his ability to make it cool for a host to berate his guests. The film trots out vintage footage of Downey fighting with Ron Paul over drug legalization and the epic shouting matches he engineered after Tawana Brawley’s rape allegations hit the news, during which time he and Al Sharpton became partners in mutual exploitation. As Downey’s numbers began to slip, he eventually crafted his own sensationalizing charges, fabricating an incident in which he claimed skinheads had beat him up in an airport restroom.
