So we can now safely assume these 2 new songs being released imminently actually was fake news.
no
It didn’t happen. Therefore it wasn’t accurate. It ain’t rocket science. doesn’t mean anyone lied, sometimes things change. But it didn’t happen.
That is not the same as "fake news" though
Fake News has multiple meanings. It can refer to a deliberately false set of facts or it can be used disingenuously to discredit something that is actually true.
A little recap. It's all happening in West Hollywood on January 31st.
1:00pm PST | Pearl Jam (NOT CONFIRMED) Exclusive Listening Party, Unknown Location, West Hollywood, CA
6:30pm PST | Pearl Jam @ Clio Music Awards, 6121 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA
8:00pm PST | Mike McCready @ Judd Apatow & Friends - A Benefit for Connecting to Cure Crohn's and Colitis, Largo at the Coronet, Los Angeles, CA
6:30 p.m. is the cocktail hour for the Clio Awards. The awards themselves begin at 8 p.m. and presumably run for a couple of hours. Shows at Largo are doors at 8 p.m. with the show beginning around 8:10 p.m. and going until around 10 p.m. Mike will be hard-pressed to make both events unless Pearl Jam gets their award right at the beginning of the Clio thing and then he takes off.
At this point expecting anything before 2/13 seems unlikely. I’m guessing single, album announcement & tour announcement at once. We can split hairs over the meanings of “made-up” or “fake news” but we are now past the Italian article’s “imminent” window and nothing happened so I think we can safely call that false now.

It will be interesting if the song names are accurate, though
I have a neighbor and friend who is a DJ at an L.A. rock station. I asked him if he had seen or heard anything about the new Pearl Jam album or single at the station (i.e., an advance copy, expected release dates or show dates, secret shows in L.A., the listening party, etc.). For what it's worth, he said he hasn't seen or heard anything.
Painted Shield dropped a single today. I can’t imagine the head of their label (cough Stone cough) would schedule it the same week his day-job is putting one out, as there’s a lot over overlap in fanbase (yeah I know capt obvious stuff here) and the PJ single would absolutely overshadow the Shield single.

She is, however, aroused at the idea of the saxophone playing an intricate role on this album.
