I think the 24/7 cycle started it, for sure. With so many hours to fill, they had to either repeat the same "boring" true news stories every so often, or they had to start filling that time with mindless chatter--or speculation. And, they soon realized it's much easier to speculate than to actually run down a story, so voila.

I guess what Twitter is killing is actual thought.

I think the 24-7 news cycle was really the main outside influence that hurt journalism. All Twitter does is showcase the arrogance and stupidity of the compliant MSM journotainers.

Not that the MSM needed any help, but Twitter is seriously killing journalism.
