The Merriam-Webster entry for documentary lists the words factual, objective.

The American Heritage Dictionary, when one does a search for the word documentary, says "presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film."

Hmmm....so is that saying there can be no documentary films?

definition from Websters New World dictionary:

documentary: 1. consisting of, suported by, contained in, or serving as a document or documents 2.designating or of a motion picture, television program etc. that dramatically shows or analyzes news events, social conditions, etc. with little or no fictionalization.

that is ISBN 0-13-947169-3 for reference.

Which I find to be a utterly correct and valid definiton far more in tune with reality.

Maybe Verto needs to upgrade dictionaries.

Those dictionaries were a gift from Stonewall Jackson himself!

I just viewed the trailers for Michael Moore Hates America; I wonder how many theaters will carry out?

Say what?

1. You said Moore makes up stuff out of thin air.

2. I replied, you mean like you.

3. Then you insult my mother.

Please tell how 3 is a valid response to 2 in any way. I was willing to overlook it it because you're Ted Striker, but now that you're claiming it was a justified response, I'm not quite so forgiving.

Uh, the part you quoted included the sentence, "Moore is an idiot."

I've seen your personal attacks all over the place so take responsibility for your own actions.

Looks like you just made something up out of thin air.

What che said was true. Name one thing Moore has made up out of thin air.

[Ted Striker]

You mean like the interview he gave the other day question if Bin Laden really had any involvment in the September 11th attacks?

You know that.

How is asking a question making something up? Did he assert that was the case?

Didn't you do that first?

Besides, che didn't call you an idiot, he was referring to your making things up out of thin air.

Please. Bithcing that Moore is not unbiased is worhtless-

Possibly the reason why I take the time to point out that he's a liar and provide non-right wing sources to prove my point. Just a guess.

I called Moore an idiot.

Chegitz quoted it and said, "like you."


Of course he used the Moore approach and added some other stuff in with the same that way plausible deniability is easily used.

"What? I didn't say that..."

" The writers ....have been living in a world in which not only one’s life but one’s whole scheme of values is constantly menaced. In such circumstances detachment is not possible. You cannot take a purely aesthetic interest in a disease you are dying from; you cannot feel dispassionately about a man who is about to cut your throat. In a world in which Fascism and Socialism were fighting one another, any thinking person had to take sides, and his feelings had to find their way not only into his writing but into his judgements on literature. Literature had to become political, because anything else would have entailed mental dishonesty. One’s attachments and hatreds were too near the surface of consciousness to be ignored. What books were about seemed so urgently important that the way they were written seemed almost insignificant.

It reminded us that propaganda in some form or other lurks in every book, that every work of art has a meaning and a purpose — a political, social and religious purpose — that our aesthetic judgements are always coloured by our prejudices and beliefs. "

The Frontiers of Art and Propaganda George Orwell

A broadcast talk on the B.B.C. Overseas Service, April 30th, 1941.

document- something that furnishes evidence

document- to furnish with proofs, illustrations, descriptions, contention, et cetera.

propaganda- association or scheme for propagating a doctrine or practice (from the Congregatio de propaganda fide, the Catholic committee of Cardinals in charge of foreign missions)
