I'm not sure what makes you think that private media can only work poorly with government educational sanction. Do you really think that the self-interest of private media won't encourage reports which support other relevant power structures? That's precisely what we see with the Israel lobby. And it doesn't take our shitty education system for that propaganda to have an effect - home-schooled kids I've spoken to are typically far more pro-Israeli, further solidifying the racist rhetoric that our media engages in.
Really, the government and private enterprise are both to blame for the consequences of their business models. It's incredibly childish to try to route every failing of the economy to the presence of government.
"If they raise food prices too high then all of a sudden farm land which was not previously economically viable "
That is a part of the food production capacity. What about private ownership of 100% of land?
