>>>You're interpreting it wrong. The word often does not appear in the 2nd sentence. - in the first sentence 'often' is used to explain that fabricated news is another term used to describe fake news. In the 2nd sentence is clearly sates that these have no basis in fact.

>>> He asked a question, then reported on what happened. That is not fake - he's simply reporting the events that happened.

>If Acosta tried to defecate in the Roosevelt room and somebody stopped him and he complained that White House staff now say reporters aren't allowed to relieve themselves- according to you, that's "simply reporting the events that happened".

"....Fake news is a neologism often used to refer to fabricated news. This type of news, found in traditional news, social media or fake news websites, has no basis in fact, but is presented as being factually accurate..."
