The era of verifiability-- when photographic and video evidence could plausibly be trusted-- is over.

Photos have been dubious since photoshop, but still required expertise and artistry to use. Fake moving pictures required considerably more extensive expertise, lots of time, and usually specialized equipment.

None of that is true anymore. We are back to a pre-industrial age of discourse, where rumor and hearsay and anecdote dominate again. Buckle up.
