It's the "news" version of the tired old Gish Gallop. Fire off a bunch of bullshit in rapid succession so your opponent is bogged down by simply having too many points of contention to address individually.
Throw a bunch of shit at the wall, see what sticks.
A few earlier hoaxes, links in the article if anyone is interested:

Consequently, despite the AP's correction and admission, sites such as MSN are still carrying the story with the erroneous headline of "Trump and Putin are 'very good friends' focused on strengthening ties" more than a week after the source article was corrected.
