The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the title of the article implies that it will be a tell-all documentary about Nickelodeon and its cast members working with Dan Schneider during the late 90s and early 2000s. However, this is not entirely accurate as only some individuals who worked with Schneider on Nickelodeon's biggest hits are featured in the documentary. Secondly, there is a statement that reads 'One of the biggest names featured in the documentary is Drake Bell', which implies that he will be sharing his experiences working with Dan Schneider during this time period. However, it turns out that Drake Bell was actually involved in a child abuse case and worked with Brian Peck as an acting and dialogue coach on All That and The Amanda Show. This information is not disclosed until the end of the article, which makes it seem like he will be sharing his experiences working with Schneider during this time period. Lastly, there are several instances where quotes from individuals who worked with Dan Schneider are used to make claims about him without providing any context or evidence for these claims.
