Is uncontrolled power good or bad?
Uncontrolled by what? Any power must be controlled necessarily by the will of the person wielding it. So when you say uncontrolled you must be referring to a (unmentioned) subject. So the answer is that it depends on what the power is "uncontrolled" with respect to.
Not so it only works if and only if the press are forced by sales to be balanced
What do you mean balanced? Do you mean they must avoid falling over? You need to specify what "balanced" means.
Citizens are going to get as much as they allow. Same as they get the government they deserve.
Why must everything devolve to the nanny state where citizens are treated like helpless children. That is the quickest way to destroy society. Allow citizens to abdicate their duties and responsibilities.
The duties of the average individual concern his particular state in life. Only those wielding great power over society as a whole have a duty to it. It is not in any way contrary to subsidiarity (quite the contrary, it is a promotion of it) for private individuals to be denied power over the nation as a whole.
