I don't think I can agree with the claim about perfect grammar, a lot of the fake headlines had grammatical errors.

I found the easy way of identifying the real from the fake (aside from the grammatical errors) was basically the absurd or extreme (typical clickbait) vs logical nonsense.

Examples

> The haunted is not what we think it's

> The Most Common Words You'd Name You... But Couldn't Names

Grammatical error

> These adorable pets are supporting the womens march

Just typical clickbait

> Shane Nakua's Cameo Line is just like any young girl's face

I don't understand what that is actually trying to say, so I put it in the logical nonsense pile.
