The media. Denzel Washington, even before Trump became President, said it best about the media:
“So what a responsibility you all have — to tell the truth. . . .”
"In our society, now it's just first — who cares, get it out there. We don't care who it hurts. We don't care who we destroy. We don't care if it's true," Washington continued.
"Just say it, sell it. Anything you practice you'll get good at — including BS."

Washington himself was harmed by "fake news." He was attacked and lied about for allegedly supporting Trump, when he didn't. But the media eats its young.
