Politicians lie all the time - during debates, during speeches, on TV ads. Isn't it just expected?

What's changed is that a politician's lies used to be public. Everyone could see them and respond. Facebook allows a politician to lie peer-to-peer, without the ability for critics to respond because they never get see these lies.
