Fake news deliberately publish hoaxes, propaganda, and disinformation purporting to be real news — often using social media to drive web traffic and amplify their effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_news_website 
The difference between the two types of news is that the former is a factual news article, whilst the latter is not. However, the satire news are presented in an over exaggerated manner, often to criticize mainstream journalism. Therefore it can be hard to distinguish the who, since both seem to often contain some political bias.
