What exactly about this is fake news?

  That's his point - both pieces are factually correct, but give completely opposing interpretations of those facts. It's harder to recognize "fake news" when the "fake" part is heavy editorializing of an otherwise truthful set of news.

    Fake news is generally understood to be baseless lies. Incorrect or misleading news describes most of all genuine news coverage.

    "News" has always been heavily editorialized from the start. "Fake news" is just propaganda presented as "news."

      There used to be some news outlets that were mostly even-keeled with their interpretation of facts. That's decreasingly the case.
