I believe it's the source that is the issue. It's "fake news" in that the source is extremely biased, and therefore untrustworthy. Not that we know the content is strictly composed of lies.
But.. every news outlet is bias and "propagandist", NYT has A LOT of eye rolling, leftist extremism fueling articles, WP as well, even New Yorker is super bias (New Yorker is more fun to read though..) but all of the above also have gems. I still glance through those as it is important for getting a full picture and not just a picture of one of the political bubbles.
