What is the error name of incorrect but semantically valid variations of fixed expressions (e.g., tense, predicated logical)? Why is “false news” considered false news?

What is it called when you say “false news” but they mean “fake news” and just didn’t notice the difference or didn’t realize it mattered? Is it actually an eggcorn?
