    Why are some people unable to process fact LBJ was a complicated, many-sided man? Has no one been reading Caro?

        @HeerJeet I too am surprised because Caro's bios are so concise, require so little investment.

        @heerjeet Politifact on LBJ: "A reader guided us to excerpts of an interview with historian Robert Caro..." So, that would be a no.

        @HeerJeet Altho Caro's early LBJ portraits were very much works in progress. E.g., he ignored Coke Stevenson racism to create 1948 contrast.

        @Asher_E_Smith Oh yeah, the bios aren't perfect. But they do give you a sense of LBJ's many-sidedness.

        @HeerJeet Additionally, why are we debating a movie when we could turn to Caro for fact checking?
