Definitely only destroyed. While journalistic integrity has always been something fragile and often lacking, the shift of news media to try to capture the social media audience while simultaneously trying to “compete” with the content aggregators has led to much more vapid and misleading reporting.

24 hour cable news was the death knell for news media, and social media has been the final nail in the coffin. It accelerated the decline in journalistic standards to a ridiculous degree.
