This.
There has always been an understanding that some news sites are biased in one direction or the other. But the current screams of "fake news" started coming from the right and they were aimed not at "fake news" but "real news".
Trump has claimed that the majority of the "mainstream media" is all "fake news". he has claimed that the entire CNN Network is "fake news".
And many of his supporters believe him despite the fact that Trump was in on the "fake news" business early with his claims that he had evidence that Barack Obama was born in Africa. So it ends up working like this for them.
Trump tells complete lie..."Not fake news because he did not really mean what he said.
Any news story critical of Trump....."FAKE NEWS!!!!!"
