I think he was commenting on the generational trend. There is naturally going to be a shift when two billion new users enter a media landscape that was previously only occupied by a few professional firms. In addition, I think it would be hard for an intellectually honest person to deny that in the current age of click bait news that agencies of all stripes are running articles with less corroborating evidence than they would have in the past so as to be the first ones to the scoop. Unfortunately, Russian facebook trolls have set the new burden of proof for online kangaroo courts, and it is not much.
