documentarians, start your engines

The trend of making (and using) movies (”documentaries”) to take down (or promote) politicians and/or their causes continues apace. I first wrote about this here, and then wrote about it here and here and here (and here, where the subject

is my least favorite potential candidate for 2008, who is using this tool to great effect: for publicity).

Here’s a new one about Tom DeLay, produced (it seems) by Robert Greenwald, creator of OutFoxed. Advance coverage here and here.

People will catch on to the trend sooner or later. It will be left to audiences to decide when the “documentarians” are lying to kick it.***

***lie to kick it: When someone tells lies or stories to fit in with the crowd.
