You're talking about bias. A documentary that portrays a lie as the truth, with regard to politics, is propaganda. When watching video evidence of something it would be important to note how it was edited and framed, but even then you can tell when they're bullshitting you versus giving you an honest caption of an event.
No, McDonald's isn't a political organization and propaganda is distinctly political. This isn't presenting an example of bias either as his goal was to shock his audience. I remember this being in theaters and it was all the shock of what McDonald's does to the average, sedentary, white person - basically middle America in the 90's.
"Bad documentary" really isn't covering what propaganda is. It's more than movies and messages and in the case of the right wing of America they're given credence to voices that will never be trusted by the string pullers. YouTube Shitter, Facebook they don't need algorithms to be done with these dumb-dumbs because it's common sense the earth isn't flat. One utterances of that shit should delete them from a platform. To promote those views, as harmless as they seem, only encourages that poison to filter through the rest of the know-nothings who regurgitate this crap.
