Liberals love Michael Moore's film precisely because it is NOT a documentary. It is a "cause" film presenting a point of view instead of sticking to fact. In short, it is propaganda.

Earlier this year, Mel Gibson released his blockbuster film, "The Passion." That was a real documentary, a meticulously researched and factual account of the crucifixion of the Christ.

When liberals boast about how successful Fahrenheit 9/1l has been, they are wrong both in claiming that it's a documentary and that it's anywhere near as successful as The Passion.

They've also been quick to exclude concert films and IMAX films from the documentaries F911's box office take is compared with.

Why? Because a concert film/band documentary comes with a ready audience of fans? Because few IMAX films are shown in "regular" theaters (I know of at least one multiplex in town with an IMAX screen)?
