Thats why most capitalist nations do have a public broadcast additionally to freedom of the press.
Is it better then nothing? Yes. Is it free, fair and unbiased? Hahaha fuck no.
As someone from a country that has this (Germany): It's not unbiased, because it's financed by the state and dependent upon the parties in power for it's continued existence. In Germany that means being beholden to a bunch of neolib and conservative parties. And obviously these libs and conservatives only know how eat hot chip, lie and privatize everything, meaning state media receives a pittance of money and politicians still complain about that being too much.
It is not financed by the state but directly through the citizens (although it is mandatory). Its' job is literally to be unbiased https://www.bpb.de/kurz-knapp/hintergrund-aktuell/311191/oeffentlich-rechtlicher-rundfunk-von-der-gruendung-der-ard-bis-heute/

Every piece of news you read is filtered through capital's prism and you think a Photoshop from a destroyed communist project is a rebuttal?
Like did you even ask yourself if the two were related? How is a disgraced party member removed from pictures used by the communist party even close to the scope of media monopoly that exists?

Fun part about whataboutism, you can keep asking "what about _?" over and over and still say nothing
This is literally an example of what happens when there is no free press at all. Sure it may be flawed but the alternative is waaay worse. I'm not saying that the US did not partake in it, just that the UDSSR did it so much worse
To be fair, you didn't really say any of that, just linked to a wiki page about censorship in the USSR
Oh the soviet union
you mean the one founded by and first led by the dude in the meme?
the dude in the meme that critiqued 'free' press?
Vladimir Lenin?
you're telling me the guy who critiqued capitalist press, also banned capitalist 'free' press in favor of controlled press?
