Google should rank by relevance. That is their goal. Whether or not truth is more relevant than lies depends on the context.

In the context of news truth is more relevant than lies, because news is an account of recent events, not fiction.

So if I go to Google News and it displays fiction as if it was news then something has clearly gone wrong, and I don't think Google denies that for a second.
