Sorry mate, I did not.
> at some real academic studies on this matter
Do you think Simmons Research, LLC are real academics and this is unlike Gallup, Inc.? Neither of them is from academia, both are commercial entities selling some B2B services.
I’ve just tried to but I wasn’t able to find academic sources on fake news, but here’s tangential research. http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146 http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1146 Hint: sci-hub.tw Given user base of social networks in modern world, this is not reassuring at all.
Also this http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1094.full http://science.sciencemag.org/content/359/6380/1094.full but that’s just an overview article with little actual data.
