<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>It has? I had to go to his own website to check it out, it hasn't been on any news program. And there's no stage like the Oscars, period. You can't get publicity like winning an Oscar, even for a film everyone's seen</div>

They all have opinions laced within. A real documentary would be something akin to a show on the History Channel.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>His style is more of the new wave of documentaries, mixing entertainment with fact, with some opinion thrown in. All of the new ones are like that. I think the only difference is that the new ones don't hide their bias anymore.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt Dominion; text-align: left; '>"new wave of documentaries" ? Uhm, no, you can't just go twisting the definition of something because you didn't fit the original criteria. They're not documentaries. They're closer to propoganda than documentaries</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>All "documentaries" are biased, unless they're of the vien of "in order to make a basket, you do this"; every last one of them. Hell, even all the shows like Unsolved Mysteries and everything A&E shows is biased, yet they're not called "propoganda"</div>
