I disagree on this slope being slippery (or actually, this being a slope at all).

Let me be more precise, and use tptacek's words in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12999887: "fake news = spam sites built from scripts consisting largely of a backcatalog nonsense stories [...] with a one or two carefully produced fake stories as a "payload".

I think this definition is as objective as it gets, and clearly excludes things I might disagree with politically, but are not the target of this extension.
