I put the spotlight on Twitter, it's a source of the news, contains reaction to the news, and it's populated by the same culture as the journalists.

So it's a quick and easy way to write stories to a guaranteed audience.

Of course the decline of print newspapers and online advertising etc is at root.

I agree Twitter has had an outsized impact, and amplifies all these issues.

But the root cause is an identity/race-centered ideology that has taken root in our "elite" universities.
