At what point does news media start facing consequences for their outright lies?

I don’t even mean government consequences. When will people stop listening to these people?

They don’t. Freedom of press means they can lie to your face and protect sources even if those sources don’t exist or are genuinely in bad faith. They can not face consequences and when they fall into a civil case, they settle with cash and an NDA and move on to do the same shit. Media uses the constitution to declare people guilty until proven innocent in the public square and push a corrupt legal system cause the person was found actually innocent.
