The framers anticipated they spoke for the people of their time. Political discourse was not foreign then. It was high dudgeon; an aspiration.
It was also in the gutter. Not much different than today.
Over time, the broadsides turned to twitter. News has always been supported by money.
The more money, the more news.
The real issue, I see, to your frustration, is how to make the learning of truth more entertaining than the titillation of amusement.
TFG masters amusement for the least inquisitive.
The money makers follow the masses.
When the children pass puberty in a social language world, it is nearly impossible for them to think academically.
There are more of them than us and their pockets are easier to pick.
