If he cuts and splices the stuff together; I think that's worse than a biased documentarian

that's a person creating fiction.

Documentarys are imo supposed to be a gathering of views couched in reality; not a direct mis-representation of viewpoints.

exactly. it's been a long time since I've seen it. but I remember noticing Heston's clothes change but the dialogue keeps running - sycor Apr 8, 11:06 3
- to make the NRA and Heston look worse - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:09 2
  - Sure it is. In the face of a tragedy, if you play comments from before it; that paint the person speaking as callous; that's worse. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 8, 11:12 1
    - you don't get it - Danedukenuuk Apr 8, 11:16
