"Which country's media is more critical of its government and policies than the US media is critical of US government and US policies?"

Most, if not all of the European media is more critical of their government and policies than the US media is. Now that wasn't true in the past, but it is now. And what the media doesn't report is just as telling as the way they spin what they report. For example, the Downing Street memo got almost no play in the US. The memo has never been denied, nor has it been proven a fake. The British media has been all over it, the US media, zip. What does get reported often has a pro-administration spin. For example, the NY Times, on reporting about Bush's poll numbers, spun it as "Poll numbers stabilize". Now the job approval number in the poll it was talking about had dropped from 34% to 32%, hardly stabilizing. The other numbers had dropped about the same amount. Yet the editorial in question was very optimistic.

Bottom line, while the US media could be critical, it isn't.
