Nah, for the most part what some are calling "fake news" is still the old-fashioned clickbait. I can remember several scandals over the years from the big news agencies that would be considered "fake news" by today's standards. They range from just being wrong to outright fraud. This is nothing new, this crap existed before there were websites. It's just that people simply choose not to remember to continue their desire to have something whine about. It is also an old tactic by people wishing to discredit those that disagree with their agenda, whether it is political or economic.
