There's still some subtle discrepancies that the eye picks up on, related to the 'uncanny valley' effect. The mouth doesn't *quite* move the jaw correctly.
It's not far off, but I wouldn't worry too much yet about the Dystopian Future Already Being Here.
Yeah, funny feelings how good that's getting. I suspect there's a long way to go before it would fool a good forensic analysis, but it doesn't stop "what you see with your own eyes" being a lot less reliable. And of course, there's no reason news has to always be live -- something that's quick, but can be polished up by hand in less than a couple of hours, might often be as useful.
It'd be even more disconcerting for video-chat, though, if it was someone you know...
In other words, if someone posts video that seems too good to be true, check snopes, like you do when someone posts a photo that seems too good to be true. OK, I can do that.
(Many of the people I know on Facebook seem incapable of doing that, but that's another story.)

"George Bush"?
"Lets make a video of someone really famous saying stupid things and making stupid faces even if they didn't in reality."
"Oh, let's use George Bush!"
