Americans have a term also. It's called "Tabloid Press," often extended to "Supermarket Tabloid Press." Also sometimes called "Yellow Journalism." Look it up.
Also, it is well known that mainstream news in America, like the "Tabloid Press," is entertainment based and not at all concerned with being accurate or putting an impartial spin on things. Being as just about everyone has some cognizance of this, Trumps comments about fake news might as well have been rhetorical, as it's all fake to an extent. That's why people with access to the internet tend to skip American mainstream news and go to alternative media.
Now, I have my skepticism of alternative news sources as well. RT certainly has incentive to be biased. And The Young Turks seem to have their pet biases as well. So, where in the world can one turn for news they know is never in any way fake? Don't know. Have never found a source I trust completely. It's always a matter of having to look at the same story from several sources and trying to form an opinion about whatever facts seem to be consistent.
