I'm not sure it's entirely because of consumerism. I personally, would rather buy something real than skins on call of duty or a subscription to real house wives. Then there's the whole "Made in America trend". I'm not sure... I think it has alot to do with not caring about anything beneath the surface. I would say consumerism, as a whole, might be a good driver for both "I want it now" instant gratification and Not caring where something came from. In that way I could see consumerism partially driving the fake news trend.
So could we do to fix that? I mean the FDA implemented labeling of ingredients, but people still buy crap because it's cheap and readily available. Snopes does a good job representing truth in information. Maybe mandate clear disclaimers on entertainment vs reality? idk, open to thoughts.

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
