So what’s the alternative? State controlled media? Because that’s never used to push narratives and agendas.

Regulation on businesses and corporate spend.
You can have free press if you limit who can influence it. From both corporations and the state.
Prevent monopolies and the consolidation of news media. Promote dissenting opinions. Promote smaller news organizations and promote discussion.
The more voices the better. State run, private, individual. Break up large conglomerates like Sinclair. Reintroduce fairness doctrine.
I don’t get how the fairness doctrine ever was able to be removed

That’s the elephant in the room that communists always conveniently overlook.
“There never was real communism/socialism! We need to really move the means of production” - yeah and who will organize it? Who will ensure the organizers won’t just take it themselves? Because that’s what happened in every attempt.

They pay workers significantly less than capitalist competition though. Somewhat contradicts the bad capitalist exploiter narrative.

Uhm, what socialist regimes? I can’t see a single one.

No country dares to have a free market like America has. In most of Europe, consumer rights are way higher. Same for worker‘s rights and for more rights for people with any sort of disorder.
I wouldn’t get too excited about the socialist policies of many European countries. We’re seeing waves and waves of far right wing politicians sneaking their way into office across the board and many countries’ policies have been under sustained attack for decades as a result of corporate interests.

In India, the media controlled by the corporates is the literal subliminal propaganda machinery for the government.
