This is a useful angle to put on the table. The part about synthetic video making old propaganda tactics feel new again is especially worth talking through.

Is the real issue the media, or the fact that audiences now expect deception and search for confirmation first? The tech matters, but trust may be the deeper casualty.

If that is true, the next question is bigger: what does verification look like when speed beats certainty every time? This could reshape journalism, platform design, and even wartime public messaging.

This is a useful angle to put on the table. It makes the propaganda side feel much more concrete, especially with synthetic video now in the mix.
