2) Intentionally misrepresenting the character an American President in Selma to avoid any notions of there being a "white savior" in the Civil Rights movement is way different than recounting Chris Kyle's story based upon his own memoir. I don't think American Sniper lionized Kyle nearly as much as Selma slandered LBJ

Have you seen Selma? There was no slandering of LBJ. There is documented proof he slow played civil rights in an effort to get his welfare program passed. The movie played that angle up for some dramatic effect. It was an exaggeration, but far from slander.
