A totally inept media, in the hands of a VERY small number of very partison players, does not help the situation.
A more fragmented and independent media set on telling the REAL news first and getting ratings, pleasing advertisers and being a slave to internal politics second would probably cure 50% of the ills facing American Democracy.
Better education (especially political) for the masses would solve a large portion of the rest.
