And when he looked at the news media and called them "fake news", they said nothing...

This is the evolution of that lie.

They could have at least responded that they try to stick to facts, which is more than can be said about him.

But they said nothing and now some people believe every word he says.

The media has no one to blame but themselves.

If you cannot defend yourself, how can you expect someone else to defend you?

We have videos of our citizens being murdered in the streets and Trump and his people say that he was a "domestic terrorist" or that it was "self defense".

It doesn't matter anymore how blatant the lie may be. Some people have been programmed to believe the lie over what they see with their own eyes.
