Are you saying fake news doesn't exist or how should I interpet the quotes?

I'm saying it's a broad term - forget Russian news. Go ask take a Fox watcher and a CNN watcher to point out what they interpret as "Fake News" and you'll get 100s of differences.

If I search for something on a search engine, I am trusting the operator of that to filter and down rank based on their own criteria, whether that's baidu, yandex, Google or DDG. It's completely reasonable for a site who's job it is to filter and aggregate results to penalise the spread of misinformation. If they don't, why am I using it at all?
