Prior to this announcement, Moore has alternately mentioned his next project would be on the religious right.

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton]  
No, I am saying that [documentary filmmaking](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Documentary_film) is not journalism the way the news section of your newspaper is journalism, and absence of bias is not one of its defining elements nor goals; a documentary can as legitimately be an editorial as a news story. Consider the classic [_Hearts and Minds._](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hearts_and_Minds_%28film%29) Definitely a great documentary, and unmistakeably an anti-Vietnam-War film, though it was made without commentary or narrative of any kind.

Well said. It all boils down to what people think documentaries should be like.
