It appears that no matter what the time interval you use in the Google Search Trends Explore page, the trends between "Fake News" aligns very closely to "PizzaGate". You can play with the search trends here: https://www.google.ca/trends/explore?date=now%207-d&q=pizzagate,fake%20news
Here is the past 7 days trends (Retrieved 5:25 PM PST Feb 9, 2017)
(Note if you go back far enough there is a giant spike in "Fake News" which coincides with the "Golden Shower" dossier.
I'm convinced that "Fake News" was created to cover-up PizzaGate. Let me know what you think!

My husband had a hard time getting to where he eve entertained the idea of a coverup like this until I showed him Google a Google search of specific words related to anything Trump and he saw how all the results mimmicked each other story after story. Then I did the same on several other topics with that he was familiar with. Same results. And not the "truth" he expected to see based on what he knew to be true. Finally to Pizzagate. Then it clicked. Yes, there are deliberate coverups at high levels.

This is really interesting. Can you go into a bit more detail in terms of the examples that you used?

Controversial and current topics for instance -- planned parenthood or woman's march. There are clearly 2 deeply divided views on those from recent news. Results are overwhelmingly on one side of those issues. The headlines share the same "buzzwords" consistently. Even though the stories are written by different writers. Any topic on Trump or Ivanka is the same. He's lukewarm when it comes to Trump but he expected the searches to reflect the 50/50 divide in opinions. Not even close. And he isn't the biggest Trump supporter but was surprised that even the tweets that Google shows didn't list any from of the biggest supporters.
Comet Ping Pong was the one search I used for Pizza Gate. It varied according to what period of time you searched, but in the days that this broke every single headline included the words "fake news". Search again on comet after the gunman was arrested, just for Comet Ping Ping they mixed the fake news headline with the gunman. Literally zero results on at least the first 5 pages or more returned articles from eventhe "fringe" news sites like Breitbart, etc. or moderately alternative pages. I can tell in the last few days though the searched on pizzagate & Comet are showing more mixed results so something has been adjusted only very recently.
Just a sample. It depends a lot on timing and in particular the current news of the day. With such a distinct divide in opinions in today's climate, it's easy to see how it's blatantly one sided when various topics are trending.
