So the argument is that because Carol is offering the best deal, Alice is entitled to it?

Carol has a literal right to their "free speech" too and there is really no getting around that no matter how you slice it.

No, the argument is because Carol is engaging in anti-competitive behavior, it should be treated as other tolerated monopolies (i.e. governments) - forced to be neutral.

Otherwise, the group of elites that got on top during the current economic cycle gets a powerful tool for shaping the public opinion and avoiding any criticism, further entrenching themselves on the top. The result is the 3rd-world economy with a bunch of cronies engaging in rent-seeking, and everybody else living in poverty with no way up.
