Pretty easy. Probably no additional training is required! You probably would need to just get hold of a foundation model that has no AI safety type training done on it. Then ask it nicely. You could also feed it in context some examples of the fake news you would like. And maybe the style. "Here is a BBC article, write an article that Elon Musk plans to visit a black hole by 2030 in this style".

I don't understand why people belive llms fundamentally change anything. Worst case scenario they make you slightly more efficient at your malfeasance, just like they do with legit tasks.
