I guess it depends how you define the word documentary. Dictionary.com defines "documentary" as:

1. Consisting of, concerning, or based on documents.
2. Presenting facts objectively without editorializing or inserting fictional matter, as in a book or film.

The way I see it a documentary is when a person points a camera at the world and explains facts in an objective way and let's the chips fall where they may.

What Michael Moore does is make films with the sole intention of convincing people of his political theories and cuts and pastes together bits and pieces of film along with his political commentary in order to convince you of his opinions. I call that a propaganda film.
