I mean, some entity has to control it.

Even if we reign in Corporations, there's still external governments trying to stir trouble and influence the popular opinion. We can't realistically stop them from doing this, but have to defend against it. So some entity has to be in charge of that.

I think you're right though, we have to reign in Corporations first. If each Nation cannot do that, then there's not much difference between Government and Corporate Interests. This is a problem that isn't going to go away even after we fix it either - something we'll have to figure out as a society how to handle.
