I do agree with you that there are many news sites spreading misinformation, but I think that most of it is not coming from governments... and while governments are also doing this, most, I would think, do it with good intentions (they do believe the information is true and barely verify that when it favours their preconceived points of view). When propaganda spreads information you like, you tend to call it just news.
The way current Western media is currently dismissing anything at all that comes from Russian sources as lies and propaganda, however, is way overblown in my opinion. That's causing a huge blind spot in the public discourse which just makes the fake news sources seem even more attractive, since they seem to be whistleblowers fighting against a campaign of silence from the mainstream media, which is not completely incorrect.
