tHE EXECUTIVE BRANCH DOES BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT IS IN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH AND HE RECIEVES MEDIA COVERAGE 24/7
Supreme Court.
The judiciary branch. Although mass media could also be controlled by the legislative or executive branch.
It is generally recognised that the press and media is known as the fourth estate. It is not, however, a branch of government.
The Media.
The media during Watergate served as a powerful watchdog against lies, corruption, illegal acts, and abuse of power in government, especially the Executive Branch. The media is attempting again in 2017 to be watchdogs with all 3 branches of government, but in particular, with the Executive Branch and President Trump.
Although there are only three real branches, the "fourth branch" is sometimes used to refer to either the media (the "fourth estate"), or lobbyists and special interest groups.
The judicial branch gets enough media coverage considering its responsibilities. The media normally focuses more on entertainment, news, and politics.
The group known as the Fourth Estate refers to the press or media organizations. It is sometimes used to emphasize the important role of the media in democracy and as a check on government power. The term originated in the 18th century, highlighting the media as an unofficial fourth branch of government alongside the legislative, executive, and judicial branches.
they put it on the cover
In a nutshell, because the media is made up of many and various independent bodies, and most have powerful connections. With today's electronic communications, trying to cover up (or regulate) stories is almost doomed to failure--the truth will out.
There is always a certain degree of discretionary agreement between the government and the media but no, essentially, the Australian government does not control the media. The media is essentially free to express as much cynicism and suspicion of the government's actions and motives as they wish.
If the government says something contradictory to that said in the media, the media can claim it as a coverup while the government can only say the media is misleading the people. However, the media usually tells people what they want to hear and thus people are more likely to agree with them against the government.
Russia is a communist government so any media is controlled by the government.
