Wow, what shock!
In Germany, there's a phrase "Lügenpresse" translates to "lying media" but to use it labels you as an alt-right twerp and the whole argument is disregarded as such.
There's no real solution other than for people to stop relying on passive absorption of information, and to enforce open transparency in communication networks (ie, Internet) no matter what negative news gets revealed.
But nobody wants that either. Is it better to believe a lie and "trust the system"?
I think most would say yes.

At this point in time the German domestic press was "synchronized" (controlled), a domestic press that the National Socialists referred to as the Lugenpresse no longer existed." Perhaps learn a bit of history to understand how this word was used and why people think you are a "alt-right twerp" if you use it. The press has some issues. But believing the propaganda of one party or random crap comments on the internet instead of the press is certainly no improvement. There is no news source without a bias. The only way to learn about the world is to understand the bias, learn from different sources (even sources opposing your own view) and combine this into your own world view.
