By crowdsourcing news, it gets faster, but more biased. Quality journalism takes time to create. Hence, impulse-reporting like Twitter will never improve news.

How does that work? It's much easier to influence a single person (i.e. the talking head on the TV) than it is 100 people (who probably have a great deal of different biases and perspectives)
But Twitter is already being used massively by big news corporations... Of course verification and analysis is needed on top of Twitter but it's still a useful tool.
