I think that may be a misconception.  Documentaries are the director's 
interpretation of the facts - much like a columnist writes an opinion based 
on his interpretation.  Most documentaries end up being closer to the facts 
than an actual film, since a film is generally fiction or 'based on a story'.  

Besides, didn't you say that everyone's biased, so aren't documentarians?

:P
