The "free press" hasn't really changed much, I guess. Here's General Robert E. Lee in 1863:
“It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces,
and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers! In fact, I
discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw
all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until
it was too late. Accordingly, I’m readily willing to yield my command to
these obviously superior intellects, and I’ll, in turn, do my best for
the Cause by writing editorials – after the fact.”
