How does mass media reflect a political system globally?

Mass media reflect a political system globally by usally acting in the same manner as the government of a specific country and the way they run themselves. In a democratic country such as the United States, mass media is free to speak as they want and they are not told by anyone what they can say and what they cannot say. Then there is countries such as Egypt who have the government monitoring what can be said and determining which information is able to be spread globally. The media of the country reflects the political system and therefore is more limited. I think that as more developing countries harness the use of mass media you will see a greater wealth of information and media will be less monitored by political systems.
