This is back when people like Benjamin Franklin was able to influence thousands of literate, land owning Americans through his periodicals.

They did not anticipate that eventually the Russians and oligarchs would create mass influence disinfo campaigns using cable news, email, and social media.

They are powerful because the various branches of government follow their rulings. But if the executive doesn't then we have a problem.
