P/S/A: The age of candid-video evidence is nearly over.

Additional concern: the disintegration of trust in traditional media is now a central tribal signaling thing, so all of on the left are (to some extent) prepared to boil like frogs.
To clarify, I'm mostly concerned about *unintentional* dissemination of fakes. I'm pretty certain the media will be overconfident wrt its ability to identify them, even w/o using all available tools. A lionized press that's not well calibrated for this is going to be a disaster.
