The point wasn’t there aren’t any other sources of reporting available. (though, the traditional media do have a harder time keeping in businees due to the dominance of social media). The point was that an important part of the media, the social one, is being aggressively monopolized by Facebook, so there are less news sources in the social space, so the truth suffers.

It depends. I think it’s fair to say social media has an important role in reporting, but that like with newspapers - if you have just one for the entire country, the quality of news will suffer, as will your susceptibility to biased abuse.
