There is article "Fake News" from 1992 [0], looking at the problem from this angle, essentially saying that quite a lot of news is fake in a sense that it is not prepared by journalists, but instead supplied by public relations agencies and published without any critical analysis by the media. Take for example recent CIA leaks. Reuters, when reporting it [1], included a statement from antivirus software manufacturing saying that "We can prevent attacks in real time if we were given the hooks into the mobile operating system". Given long history of AV software manufactures not following even basic security practices, I doubt that security experts would agree that this is how we should ensure safety of mobile devices.
