My personal hunch is that this will end up leading to a situation in which presenters do a cryptographic handshake that works to verify and prove authenticity. This isn't a new idea, and it has some very obvious drawbacks, but I don't see much of a way around the issue. The handshake could work great for something like official news releases, but for other instances that might come up in court, say, dash cam footage of an accident, it seems to me that the legal system is going to face some serious issues as these programs progress.

It will end up back where we started, "it's not on the Blockchain so I didn't say it", while making racist remarks with friends.

That's a start! I think their video appearances should be like a car in NASCAR with permanently displayed logos superimposed from all the interests that have funded their rise.

Why would this require a blockchain?

Do politicians understand blockchains?
