Albert, except on those occasions when the UK government issue a "D Notice" for state secrets (more usually this is intended to suppress news of Ministerial malfeasance and government corruption/culpability), the censorship operated is elite in nature. This operates on a consensual basis between big business, politicians and other movers and shakers. The governing rule is "don't rock the boat".
I think this is also largely true of the US too, where mainstream media do not touch certain stories with a barge-pole, or else treat them with such appalling prejudice (injecting the damning conspiracy theory label) that the reader/viewer is psychologically "shaped" or "tuned" by these distortions to unconsciously favour the status quo.
And I think we can extend this media model wider still, to many parts of Europe and other parts of the English speaking world.
That this news shaping is internationally coordinated is clear for all to see (if they wish) by the simple virtue of looking more intently at elite groups like the Bilderberg Conferences, the Trilateral Commission etc., who's raison d'être is specifically transnational in its reach and consensual in scope.

The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
