United States
In US, the media was totally controlled by the government. This press model is used to contribute the success and continuation of political dictatorship. This will show only the good side of the government while disable the bad side of the government. However, there is a bad effect to this press model as the citizen know the truth even when the government wanted things to be hidden and be wash away as time past by. Citizen will become more anti government once they know the truth.

Last year, on April, there is a quote from The Most Biased Name in News; Fox News Channel’s extraordinary right-wing tilt, Extra! A Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting Special Report, August 2001, “I challenge anybody to show me an example of bias in Fox News Channel.” — Rupert Murdoch (Salon, 3/1/01). This shows that there is flaw in the press model of US. From this quote we can see that the commenter conceived a thought that the there is an biasness in Fox News Channel. This is a evidence that there maybe a biasness in Media towards Government.

Furthermore, from http://www.globalissues.org/HumanRights/Media/USA.asp :"In recent times, the American media has been plagued with all sorts of problems including, sliding profits, scandals about manipulation, plagiarism, and propaganda, falling readership in the press, “dumbing down”, and so on." The one who create this sentence most probably believes that the government is manipulating the media such that the truth might be hidden and the one which the readers read is a positive comment to the government.
