I'd also suggest sufficient damage could be done before any reasonable corrections could be made, specifically if the faked individual "said" or "did" things that meet people's preconceptions about the individual. I could imagine fake footage that would cause market impacts, riots, etc. before anyone could get in front of it, and even after official corrections come from Upon High many would believe the explanations themselves are the lies (not the faked footage). This would not be assisted by media organizations saying "allegedly", "can't confirm", and of course the words of anonymous sources that totally would never lie, right?
