The media was covering fake news well before the election.
I suspect that, had Hillary won, we'd have seen the same amount of coverage, but with a tone of "it was a close call".
It has been clear for a long time that large-scale trolling and fake news operations were underway for a long time, and needed to be addressed.
Indeed, I expect that the MSM is being somewhat restrained here, because they don't want to seem like sore losers.

I actually looked into the raw files. And there was if cause Breitbart listed amongst the fake news. So in the end it is established media trying to claim their ground.
