Part of the discussion here seems to revolve around the percieved ethical responsibility of a “documentary” film maker. Keep in mind that Moore's films are called documentaries because they are made in the style of a documentary and so are classed as documentaries by those in “the business.” This is much the same thing as Bob Dylan being classified as a folk singer because his compositions are performed in the style of a folk singer. None of Dylan's songs are actually folk songs.

Moore works to tell his story from his perspective in a way he hopes we all find compelling and entertaining. Some people think anyone with Moore's point of view is automatically scum. I don't think Moore expects to change the minds of those people. Moore is really aiming at people whose minds aren't made up and who may be too busy or too apothetical to have even formed an opinion.
