Calling the media "fake news" before a flood of indictments swamps the news cycle

Trump calls CNN fake news because they cover him accurately, good or bad. He is irked more by them because they cover the Russia investigation and what he/his team did in depth every night. And he NEVER argues with the facts but just chooses to attack the messenger...attack the messenger before the bad news breaks about you, thus hoping to discredit both the message and the messenger. The Russia investigation about to enter an interesting phase and expect to see "fake media", "fake news", "fake story" claims by Trump and his supporters trying to muddy the waters for the public. I think it is kind of too late and by the time Mueller is done with this thing, the public will know all the actors in this criminal conspiracy on a first name basis.
