What are the implications of news biases and fake news on media & journalists?

Since the 2016 election, both on the right and the left, the mainstream media has been accused of bias in some form or another - with serious repercussions. According to Gallup, Americans' trust in the media has dropped to 32 percent, its lowest level in Gallup polling history, including an 8 percent drop in one year alone.
