I don't think they're going about this the right way.
The first step to identifying 'fake news' (even in NYT or WSJ!) is to be able to pull out attributions from the source text.
This would give you some idea of where the information in an article actually came from. "Fake news" will tend to be either unattributed or misrepresent the thing it's quoting.
But a good first step toward better media literacy would just be giving people a representation of who actually said the the things in an article, and that seems much easier.
