Well, that's a good rule up to a point, isn't it? E.g. I believe climate change to be real, that doesn't mean I shouldn't watch anything that "reinforces" that belief, like any documentary about CC. More facts and more knowledge aren't automatically a bad thing just because they are not made to change my initial stance.

Your ad hoc assumption documentaries like these can not be worth watching because of the circumstances, however, seems a bit thin (like Netlix and/or the UK coundn't possibly be fair and couldn't possibly make points worth consideration).

I widely agree with your stance on Michael Moore (even though that Fahrenheit film was actually made to reinforce my initial beliefs at the time). I find his methods and standards to be quite dubious too. That neither means every point made in these films was a valueless one, nor does it mean that every film made from every "biased" person is just another Michael Moore piece.
