People have complained about media bias since the beginning of time.
The term "fake news" as an everyday term was popularized by Donald Trump to discredit any news negative to Donald Trump. To be clear, it started when people realized how many absolutely 100% fake stories were being sent out by rogue sites and bots. It still wasn't an everyday term. Trump co-opted it to describe stories negative to himself.
