Nope - wrong.

Fake News is the implied slant that is delivered with the "news" - they are very selective in what they report and HOW they report it.

When "forced" to deliver news that is good for Trump, they make as little noise about it as possible. "Forced" = required to report in order to maintain semblance of journalism. They don't follow good news up with panels discussing how wrong the 'other' side was in predicting different outcomes. They don't have panels discussing how great Trump is for this 'good news' - they report it as if it were a traffic jam on the intersection of I-10 and I-45 in Houston rush hour. They may have panels that discuss the downside of the good news if they can cobble one together that doesn't fall the smell test.

When they report news that is bad for Trump, they It always comes with headlines that take the worst possible slant on what it 'really means.' Rarely does the factual report of the 'bad news' fulfill the promise of the headline. There is an excitement in their voices as they report the 'bad news.' They then form panels to discuss it ad nauseam to further emphasis the worst possible implications of the 'bad news' making unsupportable assertions about the motivation of the Trump involvement.

You know all this - at least if you have the logical capacity of a bed bug.
