I hear you, but I think "hoax," for example, is far more specific than "fake news," at this point.

fake gets at verisimilitude+deception, news the method of presentation+dissemination, a phenomenon unique to social media

I agree; no term can capture everything but that one did get at something specific distinct from trad media failures.
