Rogert Ebert is already on record espousing the view that films need not be factually accurate. At the time the film JFK came out and recieved lots of criticism for re staging shots to look like actual historical footage, and other manipulations of facts, he said that historical accuracy was not important, but what mattered was the artist's vision. Of course a documentary would be expected to follow reality more closely but it is clear that Ebert will not allow a few falsehoods to get in the way of a political agenda.

Yes, I've mentioned that Ebert has defended JFK, Nixon, Malcolm X, and other historical biopics for their inaccuracies saying that people shouldn't get their facts from a movie. Now we shouldn't even get facts from documentaries.

The liberals fighting the culture war dumb everything down.
