Why is political oratory dead?

[jollyairport441]

Especially with regards to orators in the past, even as far as Rome and Greece, who could appeal to the masses and make eloquent speeches. These days this seems impossible. Most political speeches involve reading from a page, or stuttering in an effort to speak extemporaneously. They have no ability to emotionally move people with words.

I would say that the last great political orators were perhaps Ian Paisley and Martin Luther King, who incidentally delivered his most renowned speech after deviating from the written word and speaking off the cuff. The best political orator, that can be seen in video or sound recordings was probably Hitler. Napoleon and Lenin were reputed to be a great orators as well.

Why can no one speak like that any more?
