One great example of this from the New York Times:
'Last year, 35% of colleges saw international student numbers go up, 26% saw no change, and 39% saw them go down. New York Times publishes this with the headline “Amid Trump Effect Fear, 40% of Colleges See Dip in Foreign Applicants”.'

This. I see far more fake headlines than fake news. Sure some are just pure click-bait, but often times the headline takes a far more biased angle than the actual text of the story. Combine that with the frequency with which people (re)share without taking time to RTFA and you have plenty of non-fake news distorting peoples view of the reality.
