Here Come the Fake Videos, Too

Where's the impunity? The described actions can and will be prosecuted as libel; USA libel laws are comparably quite generous to facilitate free speech, but what's describe above is not protected.

Parody is very much protected.

Sure, but the exact actions described above don't meet the criteria to be considered parody, that's quite straightforward libel. Intent matters a lot, and given the actions you described, any judge would infer malicious intent.
