Here's the problem:

He hired a bunch of historical consultants, and there was somewhat of a big deal made of that, and then proceeded to pretty much completely ignore them.

I'm not going to sit around and slam some historical war movie because the corporals had 4 buttons on their tunics instead of 3, that's obviously anal-retentive.

But if it had been a Vietnam movie and it showed Americans locking a bunch Vietnamese in a Buddhist temple and setting it on fire, which never happened, FR would have had a giant cow.

Just because the political ideas espoused by a movie are ones you like doesn't mean it gets a free pass.

Yes it does. Where have you been?

There is right and wrong. I am not ashamed at all to criticise a CBS movie that uses artistic license hateful and despicable towards Ronald Reagan and his family and at the same time celebrate artistic license that promotes the concept of freedom and heroism and sacrifice. If you think that I should treat the two equally then you are lost in moral relativism. All views are not equal. All views do not deserve equal respect. Artistic license can be used for good or evil.
