Yep. When the whole basis of the documentary was supposed to be about Michael Moore but then when he turns down interviews etc. the focus is changed to look at hw he puts together his films there is going to be bias.

Not saying there won't be truth to things, as there is truth to some of Moore's stuff, but I'm sure you could do the same thing a few years from now on this documentary and find similar things. Funny thing that I can never understand is why do people think documentary is the same as "presenting the facts without bias". It can be and perhaps we can argue that documentaries have gotten away from that pure form, but it doesn't have to be...atleast not in todays making of films. Documentaries whether on some animal or exposing some sort of fraud are put together in order to make the point the filmmaker intends to make. More often than not they have become opinion pieces.
