We've been post truth ever since Obama signed the Smith Mundt Modernization act in 2013 which made propaganda legal to use on Americans once again.
This is the reason why everything in our culture seemed to go absolutely nuts in 2014 and hasn't stopped to this day. The media is literally legally allowed to lie to our faces, and there is no political way to stop that at this point.
Even without photoshop, video editing, or A.I., the media can and has been able to deceive people. All they need to do is withhold some critical piece of information, or if they don't withhold it, bury it in one line deep in the article that people stopped reading in the first couple paragraphs. If anyone actually takes them to court and forces them to make a retraction, they'll just print it on some back page that nobody reads. It won't be the headline, and by doing that they have fulfilled their legal obligation while simultaneously achieving their objective of poisoning peoples minds.
You see it all the time with mass shootings. Papers and TV networks lie about the capabilities and features of guns just about every time they are mentioned, Congressmen lie about how many people die each year due to them, activists religiously lie about where the responsibility for the deaths rests.
The real problem is the normies. They don't have the life experience or the time in their day to sift through all this bullshit to find out what's real. They only know what the TV tells them or what headline they read in the New York Times. Think about how ignorant normies are on basic history. Most of them don't have any idea about the battle of Athens, Tennessee, or the Tuskegee experiment, or Ruby Ridge, or the Jewish Communist uprising in Germany (I didn't even learn about that one until a few weeks ago), or Lincoln's secret police network. There's a reason that the left has been able to make people say that right wing extremists are the real danger to America despite left wing extremists burning down cities on camera for months on end while every right wing protest has been peaceful aside from a few left wing agitators on both sides.
Even if some of them know about these things, many of them dismiss them as one off events instead of a pattern of extremely dangerous behaviors by the powers that be.

That had nothing to do with private media companies.
The State Department creates news broadcasts for foreign audiences. The change you're referencing made it so they could air those broadcasts on American soil.
It's shitty, not it's completely unrelated to CNN and others lying their asses off.
