It is, and pulling out the marathon bombing case just shows it's a hit piece.

Social media in general, and Reddit in particular, are commoditizing news publications, and displacing them as trusted sources of information. That's IMO why there have been so many such articles coming out regularly in the past few years.

You don't find it terrifying that anonymous unaccountable randos are displacing the mainstream media?

Mainstream media is almost as anonymous and just as unaccountable as Internet "randos". The latter at least link to their sources sometimes.
