Local newspaper died at the hands of national newspapers because what's happening in your town is just not as interesting as what's happening across the whole country. Similarly, national newspapers died at the hands of the internet because they're just not as interesting as the whole globe. Because of this limit, they're not as profitable at selling and targeting ads. 230 also doesn't provide an endless liability protection over "traditional" media, but it is generally more forgiving. Personally, I don't know why we'd expect tweets to have the same relationship to twitter that a news story has to a newspaper. One is written by a user vs an employee.
