I think it’s more political. If you agree with the political conclusion of a study then it’s science. If you disagree then it’s fake news.

  To the extent a study has a political conclusion, it's not science, but relatively few really do. (Some have conclusions that policy entrepreneurs find useful to support a political agenda, either because of what they actually say or because of what people can be deceived into understanding them to say, but that's a different thing than actually having a political conclusion.)

    Is Plankton dying political? You would not think so but it definitely is. Republicans would be quick to dismiss the article assuming it is another attack in economic success, global warming etc... Democrats would be quick to point to the article as support for reasons to support progressive policies. Literally everything is political today
