In theory, it's a phrase that could be applied to satire sites or conspiracy pages. As in things purporting to be news but lacking any journalistic credibility or diligence. But more often than not it's a phrase used to dismiss actual news reports that the speaker doesn't want to engage with because it conflicts with their worldview
