What commentary does Moore provide? If you start to loosely define labels like that, then everyone in the media like Anna Nicole Smith is now a commentator.

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....

Using your definition, every single person in this world is a commentator.

I suppose considering the root of the word, "comment," everyone is a commentator. Pretty much everyone comments on something.

In the case of these two, and others who have been mentioned, though, they have a much bigger soapbox than the rest of us and have been given the semi-official status of "commentator."

Everyone has an opinion on everything, wether we know it or not.

I don't consider Danny Glover or Sean Penn commentators and most of the world would probably agree to that.

Stop splitting hairs. You're too old for this and right now I need to concentrate on how I can remove the egg sandwich stain from an important document.
