Moore's job is to be a film maker. He's good at that because he has a style he created. He found out, early on, that you can take media clips, piece them together, and use it to tell a story. Whether or not, it's reality, doesn't matter. It can be about cars that fly or monkeys that swim. It's a great way to make a film.

Hes a commentator because of the style he uses to report the story. Kind of think of a contemporary political documentary program/movie as a more personal and longer version of a current-affairs tv segment. No matter what, theres always going to be an agenda and the journalist's own perspective is going to show through. Another example could be between a newspaper article and that of a text book, both on the same subject. A person's perspective is always going to show up in their work....
