The ever-flattening modern information sphere has helped to diminish the sense of boundaries between elites and everyday people. In an increasingly populist word, average folks are freer than ever to get their voices heard, and more-and-more, elites are responding, one-on-one, right back at them.
Of course, some in positions of authority choose rather novel methods to express their opinions to their audiences, though.
