Did the Founding Fathers Have Mass-Media in Mind with 'Freedom of Speech'?

You'll recall that the Founding Fathers 'got their message out' largely by "writing each other letters" (although I imagine they also had 'town criers,' maybe crude 'newspapers,' preachers at churches & public-address audiences at rallies-etc.---and Paul Revere ("The British are coming! The British are coming!")). But did they ever think people would be able to get whatever little opinions they had out into the public mind as instantaneously as it's possible today? If they had imagined that, don't you think they would've 'drawn the line' WAY before the way some people blame the actions of tons of "free-minded" people on the one-or-two people in charge of that area?
