    During the Civil War, Lincoln had every telegraph line in the country routed though the White House. Wild Wild West the movie didn’t do the ops history justice, but was close, and it was fiction.

      SMH my head, if not even Wild Wild West is historically accurate, then who can we even trust anymore?

        I truly LOL’d at that hah! It was actually a deep ref to the beginning the movie in DC where they did have telegraph stations all over the place in the white house. But the movie not explaining that they also were listening because it was completely irrelevant to the plot hahaha.
