No, because something can both be biased and still be technically factual, i.e most of what Fox News puts out. So they are not lying to their viewers but they are not presenting them with all the information. This is why you should be getting your news from multiple sources.

Fake news, unless we don't really care what the definition of words are nowadays, is just plain fake.

*addendum - Bias can happen on many different levels as well. For instance, what a news agency chooses to cover and not can be a form of bias.
