Perhaps it's a good thing, everyone will have to become experts in discerning the truth. Much like Video Game graphics looked "real life" until the next gen came out, perhaps society will start to see through any rumours/myths/lies/propaganda. Either that or we descend into a state of anomie.

Doubt it. I can hardly verify things happening in my city even if I try, let alone e.g. things happening on the other side of the globe which the media keeps telling me about in order to drum up the next cold/hot war. I used to be able to tell Photoshop jobs by non-experts, but soon enough everyone and their mum will probably be able to produce completely fake videos indistinguishable from real ones, so even "video evidence" will mean little.
