Al Sharpton Admits Loving Publicity: Thats Exactly What Im Trying to Do
MSNBCs Rev. Al Sharpton, who frequently posts photos of himself on Instagram doing things like reading his own book or posing in front of other photos of himself, unexpectedly reveals in a new mini documentary that he loves the spotlight.
A the MSNBC.com production follows Sharpton around throughout his workday, which he says begins as early as 5 a.m. (I dont need an alarm clock. Purpose wakes me up) and features Sharpton talking about his career trajectory from activists to cable news host.
Sharpton says on a slow day he hosts his radio show and his TV show, attends a rally or church and has meetings. So, when people say to you Al Sharptons just trying to get a lot of attention and publicity, thats exactly what Im trying to do.
He goes on to say hes not a studio activist, hes a real activist who also goes in the studio.
