I'm willing to guess that where you place the blame would depend on where you lie on the political spectrum. Most Say Tensions Between Trump Administration and News Media Hinder Access to Political News: Large majorities of both Democrats and Republicans say the relationship between the two is unhealthy.
Other polls indicate the approval ratings for Trump are headed for all-time lows. The disapproval is not necessarily from his base but is instead from those who previously said they did not have an informed decision, but the poll numbers from Quinnipiac suggests erosion from his base too. If, Trump is trying to deflect blame to draw attention away from his mistakes by creating smokescreens of misinformation, it is not working.
You can find more information about Trump's approval ratings at The Hill. The results are from a Quinnipiac Poll.
"Tim Malloy, assistant director of Quinnipiac’s poll, said Trump’s approval has not yet reached the low point of former President George W. Bush, his most recent Republican predecessor."
“President Donald Trump continues to struggle, even among his most loyal supporters,” he said. "Many of them would be hard pressed to see even a sliver of a silver lining in this troubling downward spiral.”
Of course, Trump lashes back by making statements about fake news. Newsweek looked into the accusation from Trump. They conclude the polls are not fake. One of the issues with the election polls they found was that there were so many people unwilling to give an opinion about their choices during the election.
"Possible reluctance of respondents to voice support for Trump has frequently been cited as a possible reason that pre-election opinion polling, and post-election surveys, may have underestimated support for the Republican."They are weighing in now in increasing numbers. Something you might want to think about, the next election is about 18 months away.
