Media has negative effect on politics

Authoritative theory was articulated to define the relationship between the press and the authoritarian environment in Europe during the old days of monarchs and emperors. Under this political system, the mass media, (private or public) are clearly subordinate to the state and are restrained from criticizing of the government of the day or its officials or both. Furthermore, the authoritarian philosophy sees the mass media as only existing for the interest of the government and the elite in the society.
