The resentment coming from media towards tech has been there for years now. The thing that always gets me is that they pretend to offer the insider view (rubbing shoulders with billionaires), but actually it's them fixing on these handful of figures and companies, ignoring 99.9% of the industry. I also find it difficult to take seriously anyone who holds up 2016 as some kind of milestone in internet manipulation and propaganda... because the Obama campaign already bragged in 2012 how they used social media to win. They harvested data from Facebook, just like Cambridge Analytica would do, but Facebook looked away, and the press spun it as tech savvy democrats leaving republican dinosaurs in the dust. There are no principles in this area, just people fighting for a team.
