The whole concept of a corporate fourth estate informing a populace how to vote contrary to their own interests is surely a major problem our founders weren’t considering very heavily, given the media of the time.
I can’t imagine the World War generations silently watching Tucker give aid and comfort to Putin either…
I can see how corporate influence might play a role in this EPA decision, but most of the ire being thrown at SCOTUS recently is about abortion and I don't see any clear corporate pro-life consensus. On the contrary, I expect most corporations want to keep abortion legal to protect their workforce.

Yes, the world war generations had trouble with the principle of free speech; for instance, arresting people for protesting the draft during the first world war: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schenck_v._United_States And do I need to remind you of the mass internment of Japanese Americans, convicted of no crimes, during the second world war?
I like to think we've made some progress since then.
