All of this has been possible for the last century.

For instance, at least in Russia you just get an actor that looks like the politician, film them doing some bad stuff and blackmail them. Pretty simple.

We have had doctored photos/videos for as long as the mediums existed.

If anything it will saturate and you wont be able to tell what is real or not. Most people will default to "fake" and have to rely on the trustfulness of the source. Just like now. We have photoshop and there isn't mass chaos.

Until faked video of the trusted source him- or herself appears.
