Even CNN admits that CNN is fake news.

CNN published an article about a pro-Trump PepsiCo boycott in which it said that the boycott was inspired by fake news blog The Gateway Pundit. They stated that TGP published a quote from PepsiCo's CEO which was proven to be a fake quote, although TGP never published that quote at all.

They later removed TGP's name from the news article and added a disclaimer at the end, [b][i]but still kept the article up[/i][/b]. Here's the disclaimer:

[quote]Editor's Note: An earlier version of this story characterized Gateway Pundit as a website "designed to trick people." That was not accurate. The Gateway Pundit is a political blog based in St. Louis that is popular among conservatives. CNNMoney has removed that characterization and regrets the error.
This story also reported that Gateway Pundit had published a widely circulated misquote of public comments made by the CEO of Pepsi. CNNMoney has been unable to confirm that Gateway Pundit repeated that misquote.[/quote]

So there you have it. Fake news about fake news.

a lot of news is fake in that it gets a liberal or conservative twist to it.
