He's saying that if the "suspect" is NYT, then his logic fails because they're reporting on their own fake news.

I believe the parent poster is saying that fake news isn't a new phenomena; I don't believe it was condemnation of any specific news outlet.

Any search of history can find fake news going way back; the difference today is the ease of producing it and how easy it is to spread rapidly.
