Really it's the victory of a decades-long press "fake news" campaign. For years papers and politicians alike have misreported EU directives, ECJ decisions, ECHR decisions (not even part of the EU), and UK human rights law decisions. This is the result.
The UK media have also given up on providing an accurate picture of the country outside London, and on any kind of industrial or trade news coverage that isn't entirely driven by press releases. And the 2008 crisis made life worse for a lot of people in ways the government has done nothing to address.
It's quite funny because UK media and press workers also live in UK so they are equally responsible for what is going to happen to them and to the whole country.

The owners however are generally not domiciled in the UK. It's not as if the workers get a say in the content.
Well, the main points of the ones in favor were debunked right after the referendum, so it's hard to disagree that it was fake news.
It's also easy to exploy people's problems to rally them against a fake common enemy, and it worked wonderfully.
I wonder who gained from this, amd why they did it. I don't think they believed their own lies..?
