Basically, the legacy establishment media is complaining about the new establishment social media.

Same thing as the the obsolete horse and buggy industry complaining about the automobiles taking up all the street space and causing traffic.

The establishment media got big, fat and lazy with their monopoly and selling limited ad space.

When the ads space became infinite in the web, they didn’t innovate and pivot to web technologies.

Google and Facebook innovated web technologies and leveraged their tools to filter and target valuable audience attention space.

The establishment media is obsolete and no amount of complaining is going to change the dynamic of the web. All they can do is talk about their high school glory days of scoring 5 touchdowns in high school championship game.
