A problem with many so called capitalists is they say it is ok if corporations do whatever but not if governments do the same thing
Then the government just hires the corporations to do that thing
They imagine an anarcho capitalist or libertarian capitalist society in which corporations could be good and would be punished by consumers & rival corporations for doing bad and excuse the bad behavior of corporations
They do not acknowledge the difference between theoritical & real behavior
People act in their own self interest and most people don't want to be executed in the streets. This will keep the corporations in line far more than bribed politicians, who constantly fellate them, ever could.
Is it the politicians that are bribed by the corporations with lobbyists or the corporations that are bribed by the politicians with government contracts using taxpayer money
I would argue that it happens in both directions
And that it is the same team that ends up in management of both givernments and corporations
And they manage things at the highest level through news outlets that shape the policies of governments, corporations, universities and religious denominations

Yes, sociopaths rise to the top in our current societal structures. I don't believe the media shapes the policies of government at all tbh, the government is 100% completely unaccountable even to it's own promises and campaigns. So what if media turns on them? It can even work in their favour like with the orange pedo.
Before you conclude it is not the news media that is in charge I would suggest you read the first two books by Steven Hassan and Familiarize yourself with the works of Tim Ozman from infinite plane radio
Steven Hassan's third and fourth books are simply second editions of his first two books in my opinion so you could read the second edition or the first edition
If a cult leader controls a group it comes from the source of information at the top which is the news

In other words
The problem with Anarcho Capitalists & Libertarian Capitalists is they imagine Corporations are behaving the way they would in an Anarcho Capitalist or Libertarian Capitalist society and treat them as such
When in reality Corporations are behaving the way they would in a Fascist society with Reverse Communism in which the workimg class on the bottom is taxed to pay for Rich Government Supporting Corporations to do the well of a government that is trying to genocide them
