At least the US hasn't quite come to that level, although censorship of that sort is really irrational.

Actually, there is some difference between mass media in the US and the rest of the world.

For example, the US TV tends to show Iraqi children playing and laughing on a merry-go-round, while most of the rest of the world opts for blood-smeared walls and children with severed limbs. Foreign media also more openly talk about "Bush using the terrorist card once more" and so forth. You may argue that this isn't exactly censorship, but at least it gives a somewhat distorted image of what is really happening.
