How does mass media reflect a political system globally?

The U.S government allows for the freedom of speech, the 1st amendment. This allows the media to convey what ever message they want to their audience as long as it doesn't put our country in danger. This is reflective of the type of government we have. A democratic institution which grants certain liberties to all it's citizens. Around the world there are numerous other types of governments. In North Korea they have a dictatorship. Their government does not allow freedom of speech and therefore the media is scarce there. Kim Jong Il decides what will be shown and what won't. His type of government reflects the mass media of the country. North Korea gives its citizens little to no liberties. It's a harsh place to live and the media certainly does not thrive their. The media is controlled to make Kim Jong Il look like God. His face is everywhere and only good is talked about him. It would be in comparison to Mcdonalds advertisements in the U.S. They're everywhere but they're certainly not good for you.
