Ironically, the Clintons and Obama did more to concentrate power in the Presidency than any modern Presidents. Further, the Founding Fathers did not recognize that the media would become partisan propagandists who could unbalance the balance of powers and undermine true representation of the people.

They knew exactly how the press worked. Ben Franklin was one of the greatest propagandists in history. What they didn't figure on was the growing stupidity in Americans. The idea of an unbiased media would have them doubled over with laughter.
