If you wanted to know what was happening, you'd have to have CNN or Fox News on 24/7. Maybe look into your computer for a few minutes. People with smartphones then were just watching videos, playing games or using social media. Social media wasn't as political then as it is now.2012? The internet not being ubiquitous? Are you high? 1990's yeah, fine... Just because everybody didn't have a smartphone didn't mean that the internet was new territory. Hell, Facebook had been around for eight years at that point.
Internet was modern then, yes. But it wasn't a main beacon for news like today.
