Bias in "the press" isn't the problem. Legacy media's longstanding capture by ONE form of bias, and Big Tech platforms' capture by ONE form of bias is the problem. It's not "free speech" if they can use top-down power to control the public square.
This is something that a free market would handle, just fine, only the market isn't really free. Big Tech got all kinds of advantages to get established in the first place, and any push, now, to "regulate" them will just cement them in dominant positions for many years.
In the USA, I think they should abolish the Communications Decency Act, and Section 230, in particular. Let it be a free-for-all. It SHOULD be a free-for-all on "platforms." The phone company has no say in what I discuss over the phone. Let the CUSTOMERS decide how to filter their information. Rather than having Big-Tech drones decide what to filter OUT, let parents and ordinary customers decide what to allow IN.
Everyone should have their own private version of "hosts deny" and "hosts allow." Parents should deny: ALL, and then ALLOW the channels/content they approve. There should be a plethora of filtering software companies competing for customer services.
Part of the problem is all the free content and the corporate-advertiser strings that are attached, often below the level of perception of the customers. If your content is free, you're not the customer. You're the PRODUCT. It's all in the fine print when you sign up for these "free" platforms.
