Come on guys, there is a huge difference. Lumping together everything you don't like about X is not a productive way to address individual problem. It really only helps to give yourself an excuse to throw your hands up in frustration.

When the idea of "fake news" is used to discredit sites like ZeroHedge and WikiLeaks as "Russian propaganda", you know it's not about fakeness/truth, but only about control - in other words, propaganda.
(I'm not saying that ZeroHedge is a quality site, far from it - but they've always been anti-establishment, pro-conspiracy theory, and they haven't changed their stance during this election campaign at all.)
It's very similar to "election fraud" - before the results, when Democrats were confident they'd win, Trump warning about election fraud was branded a lunatic, a threat to democracy, now we have the same situation on the other side but suddenly it's "the right thing to do" (smart and trustworthy people, e.g. Nate Silver, have dismissed the claims).
The bias is obvious for all neutral people. If a problem is only a problem when you have it, it's not a real problem, merely propaganda.
It's clever branding I give them that, but I doubt it flies after election cycle meltdown.
