> it only came from one person/group

I disagree. While dubbing things “misinformation” was extremely prevalent coming from democrats and those on the left, things like Trump and his supporters dubbing certain reports “fake news” show everyone has concerns.

The term “fake news“ itself came from the left.

Right, misinformation. Reasonable people can disagree about where the line between “actual fake news” and “news with a spin I don’t like” is.
