Well yes but :)
I remember back in Germany I turned on the TV one night, not knowing what was going to be on. What I heard was various news broadcasters talking about the Soviet union attacking West Germany. Tanks were rolling over the borders between East and West Germany, fighter jets in the air. All with accompanying video material of actual tanks rolling and all that and narrowly averting nukes being fired. All of it was actual news material, including the news anchors, nothing was fake recorded.
I was quite confused for some time until I figured out that it was a "ZDF History" episode that specifically cut together various news broadcasts to make it look like they were remembering "that time when the East attacked the West" and that they were trying to show how easy it is to "change the past" this way or even make people think that this was actually going on, if this had been broadcast live in the evening news instead.
And this is way before deep fakes.
