Another thing to consider is there can be a difference between "fake news" and "propaganda".
Someone could use a true story: Some Democrats vacationed in PR during the shutdown. First they post it as the headline for three or four days on a conservative "news" website, then a conservative "news" cable station reads the same story on the very popular (in parts of DC) morning show and then it gets sent out via tweet from a prominent "politician".
And someone could use it as propaganda to just and rile people up that the Democrats are at fault for not doing something the GOP didn't do for two years.
Someone who might have set a record for vacation in the first two years of his term, say.
The "news" is true and accurate...the spin is propaganda.
