the whole tech vs press twitter dynamic is just if you took the fallacy where you think everyone who agrees w you does so for diverse & principled reasons and everyone who disagrees does so monolithically and for extrinsic motivations and turned it into a perpetual motion machine
journalism advertises as able to reform via reporting & critique, which is what they're doing — you can agree w/their angles or not but it's what they said they were gonna do. tech advertises as able to reform via building new things but where are the better new media models

re: fb i don't think i saw this particular flavor of "anyone could just build fb" take? i think everyone is in agreement on basic things like "social networks only succeed with (maybe monopolistic) network effects" and "every successful startup had luck involved"
