Why not link to the original CNN source then, if you want to be trusted? You'd have to do that anyways if you want to use the CNN footage in your own video.
I don't think people who care about the validity of a news video will be helped much with this, and people who don't care about the truth can easily ignore it too.
But what if they can't anymore? News orgs don't only show video that they recorded. They have videos from freelance reporters, people who were at an event, government orgs, other news orgs in other countries...
sure, totally ok to incorporate those video items & publish your (signed) story. i think we've seen pretty clesrly that people want to publish and be recognised for their publications. building a web of trust has to start somewhere. currently we're in the "its all very difficult, we cant solve all the tricky things, so we're not even trying" stage. hopefully we find a way to move forward, even if its not perfect.
How would that work? Why would you have any reason to trust me in this chain?
