They don't really care anymore as long as that sweet sweet ad revenue keeps rolling in.
That's one thing I've noticed drives a lot of the fake news sites - they're loaded with ads. Clearly that's their goal. If only we could get Google to cut off ad revenue to websites that are spreading made-up news.
Fake news about Trump spread like wildfire. Even worse, the fake news sites were set up by a media company to advertise their new film. I think that's absolutely reprehensible behavior on their part.
