he wasn't a monster but he was human like the rest of us.

From what I've heard of the mini-series it does portray Reagan as a monster and/or an idiot. I've heard conflicting claims about whether there were any total fabrications but there probably was at least the most negative spin possible applied to actual events. You can paint a very inaccurate picture without any fabrications. You can take all the bad things and none of the good things and spin the bad things in the worst way possible, or you can take disputed events and portray the worst possibility as the truth.

Also the timing isn't exactly good with Reagan sick and apparently declining. Something like this when he was president (and so fully fair game for the political mud that gets thrown around) or years after his death wouldn't be quite as bad.
