A salient point. However, NPR shares an interview with a person (Justin Coler) who was responsible for generating a lot of fake news during the US election campaign last year [1]: "Coler says his writers have tried to write fake news for liberals — but they just never take the bait." Academics tend to be left-leaning and overall they operate on a principle of self-regulation (with a few rogue fabricators that make it into the spotlight periodically), so this may not be as a big of a concern as you fear.
