This is one side of the coin -- it's getting easier to fabricate news. The other side of the coin is that it's easier for people who spot fabrications to spread the word on popular blogs and such. When 60 minutes broke a story on what were supposed to be memos about a politician from the 1970s, bloggers who thought they looked suspiciously like they were typed in MS Word (and not on a typewriter) were able to link up with typography experts, do some solid analysis, and force CBS to issue a correction/apology. I've seen several bits of photoshopped "news" coverage exposed in recent years.
