Epidemic of manufactured incriminating tapes

People in politics have motives to manufacture tapes to incriminate opponents; people in hi-tech are more than capable of manufacturing tapes that sound authentic to the public and authorities.

Since any public figure's voice, accent, vocabulary, idiosyncrasy, etc. are so available, and since public figures are constantly being accused of something bad, what would the frenzy in political arena look like if most accusations are "substantiated" with seemingly authentic (but completely manufactured) tapes?

It is an interesting idea especially in the modern era with alt media and citizen journalists touching what traditional media wouldn't.
The problem though is what can be faked by some, others will be able to spot a fake.
Have you seen the film Primary Colors? Fiction yes but manufactured sex tape there shows one possible way your idea might work.
 
How long before the public becomes cynical and stops believing. There are supposed to be several recordings of Trump saying or doing things that you would expect would bring down a President but no one cares. Politics is a theatrical performance and the audience doesnt bother watching the show anymore.
