And I’m saying that him literally lying dozens of times publicly destroyed his credibility, not “the media”. The documentary does a great job of treating him fairly but most things he said ended up being baseless or false.

He was a mentally ill drug addicted criminal. Kinda obvious that’s not a reliable source of info no matter the topic.
