Ultimately, a judgement about fake news rests on the reputation of its author, and the reputation and editorial stance of a news organization or book publisher. Longevity is not in and of itself proof a publication or publishing house is an established reputable service. ''Newsweek'' magazine for instance, was once established as a "moderate" or right-leaning weekly news source to counter the percieved leftwing bias of ''Time'' magazine. It has since ceased publication as a print journal and the name - ''Newsweek'' - was sold as an established, existing tradename, only to reappear online as a mainstream news source for some of the most outrageous left wing lunacy.
