It's not that clear as far as I can tell (and from reading commentary from people far more knowledgeable than me). Matt Levine's column from 2 days ago, for example, goes over some of those questions to a decent degree: (possible

That's certainly untrue, at that time access to any sort of mass communication was even more controlled by a few private actors. There were not all that many major printing presses out there and a limited number of publishers would hav
