The ethical guidelines that apply to filmmakers are far less stringent than those that are imposed on politicians or even journalists. Our leaders serve the public trust, so any dishonesty is considered a serious matter. Moviemakers, on the other hand, are under no obligation to serve the public good (see the career of Jean Claude Van Damme for an example). Outside of threats, inciting a riot or slander (public figures don't count), they can say whatever the hell they want to say.

An interesting response.
Thanks.
