>You don't get to say a propaganda campaign that ruined a country and killed hundreds of thousands wasn't fake news. You're getting hung up on the term 'fake news'. In this context this term has a specific meaning, different than what you're referring to. 'Fake News' are sites with content that is purposely false (though it could plausibly be true) that is also usually outrage-inducing. At the same time they attempt to pass themselves off as credible news organizations. Their business model involves getting their fake content to go viral, increasing views and their advertising revenue.
