Well heck, Birth of a Nation was probably considered as a documentary too when it was shot -- along with a lot of war movies. My larger point was that to produce anything for the public, it must be simplified. That always requires bias. Satire has stopped being entertainment and instead is a way to simplify things. We tell a joke in lieu of explaining something. (As the old documentaries were supposed to do: explain something) Once satire takes on that role, it's always going to be misinformation to some degree or another.
