Morphology

consoom + media

The phrase is a nonstandard, humorous respelling of 'consume media', so the core meaning 'to take in media' is compositionally derivable from the constituents. However, the deliberate misspelling 'consoom' carries pragmatic/pejorative and exaggerated connotations (passive or excessive consumption) that are not predictable from literal word meanings alone, so a B1 learner may grasp the basic idea but miss the stylistic/critical nuance.

Etymology

Consoom media may come from mixing the word consume with a funny spelling to show mindless watching of media. Picture someone 'eating' TV shows and videos like junk food, and you can see why it means 'to take in media' without thinking or 'to do it too much'.
