ok, I'll play devils advocate - Does that really matter? and if so why?

Fahrenheit 9/11 was released on June 23, 2004. IIRC that was an election year was it not?
"W" was released on October 17, 2008. Again an election year. Of course he was not a candidate (Thank whomever)

They are still fighting this now and we aren't due for an election for 2 years. Also, it is a movie. It was initially released primarily for Pay-per-view and sales.
How does this differ from a book or DVD or a magazine...
I'm trying to look at the longer range issues rather than those related to the individuals involved.
Specifically is this or can this be construed as a form of censorship?
