What percentage of the populous do you think the media reached in this period of history? I’m trying to equate with our far-reaching media outlets, be it valid information or gross misinformation.

Good question. I can't find any data about newspaper circulations to answer it though. I found sources saying there were about 3 million US adults then, and that over 90 percent of the men were literate. Since many women were not, the OVERALL literacy rate was about 60 percent.
The play Hamilton was an ode to a myth of political correctness, Just because he was a bastard born in the British West Indies on a sugar plantation, there is an assumption amongst people of African ancestry, that he was a mulatto, that they could claim that a black man was a founding father.This is what happens when people are beat down, and have to create myths to build dignity. History is revised, to fit a narrative. Just like project 1619 claims that the 20 Africans that were sold off at Elizabeth Town, in VA were slaves. They weren't they were indentured servants, slavery didn't come to Viginia until 1655 and the case of Johnson v Casor, but not legally until 1661 when the House of Burgesslegalized slavery.
Until then one was either a yeoman, planter, or indentured servant. And there were slave owning black,former indentured servant, blacks until 1833 and the Nat Turner rebellion, when in reaction all blacks were re enslaved.
What we know is that Alexanders father was a sugar cane planter and his mother an Irish indentured servant.

Only needed to swing a percentage or two. Otherwise we wudda won.
I don’t understand. I asked what the press’ reach was in the Jefferson-Adams era.

Probably the same in 1800. Tied. The only reason Jefferson prevailed was Hamilton hated Burr more.
