There is a hard trade-off in news between speed and accuracy.<p>Twitter helped moved news away from accuracy. This is a negative development as truth is more important than speed in most cases for most people most of the time. For all its flaws, the old media had professional journalist that at least occasionally engaged in fact-checking, however perfunctory. This has completely gone out of the window, for many reasons, the most important of which is probably the collapse of ad-revenue and print sales, which isn&#x27;t Twitter&#x27;s fault. But Twitter has made things worse.<p>Twitter is a peer-to-peer tabloid.
