Ric, we do not claim that the scenes were faked (at least I don't claim they were). They were manipulated through the editing process to show just what Michael Moore wanted them to show. Anything contradictory, for the most part, was edited out. That happens in all documentaries. I took a class on it and we watched many examples of how one-sided docs can be. Even something so "safe" as Ken Burns docs have a political agenda even if it is not noticeable on the first viewing.
