'Perpetuating' in that context means, "continuing". The speaker (I don't know who the speaker is) is saying that they fault the media, for continuing to influence their readers/watchers/listeners with information that leads to these grandiose dreams.

Perpetuating Meaning

In the context you have given it means "continuing". As in causing to continue with the dreaming. There is an inference in the use of perpetuating, that without the action that is causing the perpetuation, the thread might die a natural death, like in the case of continuing to spread an untrue rumour, and so on.

Keeping the wheel spinning...
Tapping the ball to keep it rolling...
Rocking the swing to keep it swinging...
Repeating a lie to make it keep it circulating...
Blowing on a fire gently to keep it burning....
Nodding your head and smiling to keep the marriage lasting...
Eating slowly to make the great meal last as long as possible...
Stroking a cat to keep it purring...
Servicing a car to keep it running smoothly...
Winding a watch to keep it ticking...
