That's like saying the "message" of the "documentary" films of the Third Reich weren't ultimately malevolent. Now, Mr. Moores films aren't in the same league but sometimes one has to call a spade a spade.

FWIW, we're taught in documentary classes that there's no such thing as a documentary and there's no such thing as a "fiction film." All documentary is fiction. All fiction is documentary. Every filmmaker brings an agenda, or at least a point of view to the table. Even the Cinema Verite guys decided what footage to include in their finished films when they got to the editing stage. It's a lot more constructive, IMO, to say that you don't agree with the apparent message of the filmmaker than to accuse him of something malevolent.
