Interesting question, let's try to split the three categories:
- Clear fake news ("sgift lives in ..." and a false value)
- Clear true news ("sgift lives in ..." and a correct value)
- Opinion
The first two shouldn't be too hard, but also not very interesting. Most 'fake' news is more or less a matter of opinion, so you can debate as long as you want if it is fake. I don't see how that could be decided outside of a courtroom and I don't know of any trials that have ended in less than 24 hours.

- mertd 10y agoThat's not how fake news work. They make claims that are untestable or require the proof of negative. - Politician X has reptilian DNA. - Candidate Y wants to instate communism. - Protesters are hired actors by Z.
