There is no simple check, but lots of indicators. If they don't say where they got their (alternative) facts, it's likely fake news. If it's full of typos, it's likely fake news. If other news sources don't claim the same thing, likely fake news.

Those I mentioned, also being from a news source never heard before or with bad reputation. Or even by the format, an image is more likely fake than a text, and if it's a youtube video you have to assume it was made for most money by clicks and not by telling truth.
