I'm reminded of a comment by someone that studied the old Eugenics movement. Mentioned finding that one of the major books on the subject the author had carefully edited photo's of 'degenerate people' to look even more crude an unintelligent.

I couldn't agree more if they used the word lie in the more general sense as a synonym of deception. The availability of fakes may not become a problem because the most effective deception doesn't involve telling untruths.
To give an example, suppose Russia Today and Fox News report on the same event. There's a set of facts. RT picks a subset and reports it from their point of view. Fox picks another subset and presents their view. The resulting articles may give readers vastly different interpretation of the event and no untruths had to be involved.
