I agree with that, but let me add, for the benefit of younger viewers: The term "fake news" was originally used to refer to small advertisements that would get people to click on them by showing a text saying something like "The pope has been assassinated! Latest pictures!". Anyone who clicked on the small advertisement would be shown a big advertisement for porn or gambling or whatever; there was no serious attempt to make people believe that the pope had been assassinated. "Fake news" was a good description for that practice. But then journalists decided that "fake news" should be a pointless synonym for propaganda. These are probably the same journalists who decided that a "hacker" is a criminal, a "troll" is someone who spreads propaganda or harrasses an individual, and a "selfy" is any photograph showing someone's face. (That last one didn't really catch on but for a while the BBC was repeatedly using the word "selfy" in that sense.)
