okay, i hate to do this, because I really don't have much of a dog in this fight, but Blanco, I'd like for you to tell me what are generally regarded as some of the greatest documentaries of all time, and then tell me how "non-partisan" and objective they were.

I can understand disliking Moore for his liberal (in the true sense of the word) use of facts. You and I had it out over that a while back, and I don't particularly feel like doing that again.

However, it really bothers me to see people jump on him as a documentarian, as if the style he used was not true to form. Well what the heck is the litmus test you're using? Should every documentary be like a special on crayfish that you'd see on PBS at 4:30 am???
