You not accepting something doesn't mean it's fake. Some people don't accept that earth is round, that doesn't change the fact the earth is round.

If you make 1 story about the earth being round and another story about mars being flat, you still tell fake news sometimes. And yes The Hill has printed at least 1 story ever that ended up being fake news just like everybody else.

What about all the news outlets that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and was a danger to the United States? That was fake news and they all printed it like it was fact.

It's just easier to point out that they hired John Solomon from July 2017 to January 2020. Amongst other things he was tossed out of the company for taking bribes in order to make wildly false claims in support of Trump.

It's a caution poll so my guess is they weren't being racist or bigoted enough.

correct. it got that rating based on some past editorials:

We also rate them Mostly Factual in reporting, rather than High, due to previous opinion columns promoting unproven claims.

compare that to Fox News, which is ranked below that with "MIXED".

I don't think you understand how news works. It was incorrect absolutely, but it was based off the information available at the time. News is never going to be 100% correct because no one is omnipotent. Something being incorrect isn't the same thing as something being fake.
