While countries like China (rightfully) get the bad rap for being a harsh place for journalists and independent media, Singapore tends to get away. Its media control laws are amongst the most rigorous and draconian among modern democracies, and naturally, its media the least critical of the state.
Unfortunately I don't think that's going to change, because its citizens (and the rest of the world) seem to have accepted that loss of press freedom is an acceptable price for economic prosperity and unbridled consumerism.
