The comparison goes something like this:

Twitter "ruined journalism" by giving lazy media companies a way to "track big stories" (i.e. a few thousand people comment about N and that's News, apparently.)

Facebook "ruined journalism" by virtue of users not bothering to read the news at all.

Both are horrible.

But, facts, "Journalism" was ruined by corporate interests decades ago.
