Fake News is a harder problem due to two reasons:

1. Fresh News constantly keeps cropping up. Its a dynamic problem, not something that can be done on a static dataset. 2. Verification is a harder problem as compared to clustering. One of the problems is what data to treat as ground truth for verification. Technologically it is composed of hard problems : finding out each individual fact in a document and then verifying them from close facts from ground truth article.
