The difference is that our media is owned by complicit corporations that act on the government's behalf. Remember, like when the Bush administration asked the NYT to not publish the information gained by James Risen? And NYT happily went along? Just long enough for Dubya to be re-elected?
Yes, there are many other examples clearly demonstrating the unholy alliance between the government and the Fourth Estate. Many examples of "journalists" sending stories to various agencies of the government prior to publication so that the government can approve or disapprove of the story.
