If a news outlet is found signing a fake video, they will be in trouble.

I see you've never heard of Fox News before.

Yes, and now people don't trust Fox News, to the point it is close to being banned from being used as a source for anything on Wikipedia

I don't know that 'about to be banned by Wikipedia' is a good metric for how much the general American public trusts Fox News. It could be that most of them don't, but that is not a good way to tell considering there's no general public input on what Wikipedia accepts as a source.

Also, it should have been banned by Wikipedia years ago.
