You don't need Trump for this, just taking the term for what it says. Are there are various quality problems with journalism? Sure. Is journalism as a field plagued by a problem of straight-up, unchecked fabrication of 'news'? Not really. That problem is not a journalism problem.

It doesn't have to be literally false to misinform, and informing the public is (in my opinion) the main point of journalism. How erroneous/slanted does it have to be before we can assert fakeness? I think it's fair to say that if I have a worse understanding of the world as a result of consuming news media then that constitutes "fake news".

It has to be fake news to call it fake news. Simple term, simple criterion. If you want to talk about other ways in which news can be inaccurate, you can use one of the many terms for that. It is not 'fair to say' that something that isn't actually fake news is fake news. That's a weird thing to insist on when complaining about inaccuracies.
