Observational analysis shows subsidies reduce media bias, while price-caps increase polarization, highlighting the need for balanced reporting standards.

While subsidies reduce bias and promote balanced news coverage, price-cap regulation exacerbates online polarization and displaces traditional media. These findings provide valuable insights for policy discussions on fact-checking, reporting standards, and social media regulation.
