"to make a respected man look bad and clumsy." You want a man you respect to be shown as respected- but other people might not respect him at all (many other people might feel that way) and they might think Moore's portrayal is spot on. If there is objective "truth" it's somewhere in the middle where no one is ever going to find it- can you see how that might be so? I'm not insulting you. I can understand that you might respect someone that I find to be a very bad man. But can you take in the relative shifts in perceptions? They go very very deep- they produce diametrically opposed perceptions- to try to say some POV is "truthful" when it concerns a matter of opinion, is...just the wrong tack to take. It's like saying that liking chocolate ice cream is wrong (or making chocolate ice cream out to be disgusting is wrong). Someone might have the POV that Bush is a moron, someone else might say he is a genius- the POV's are like the taste for ice cream, difficult to say one is right and one is wrong- it depends what your taste buds are set up for, and you are a prisoner of those buds.
