What do you mean trust didn't deplete?

Faked images are super popular and effective and are used to reinforce biases.

Major outlets like Fox News that traffic in false information have bad reputations and also good reputations among others.

You are right that this is isn't a technical problem though. Why bother faking a video or photo when fake words (misquotes and lies) are 10000 cheaper and just as effective?
