its not just political either there is harry redknapp football manager who gets on well with the press who probably have lots on him but choose to not publish it to keep that good relationship going, although if he became england manager it would probably all come out if england do badly and they want him sacked.
you're talking about a personal agreement between 2 individuals ,minister /editor or celebrity/editor ,we are talking about the government forceably blocking stories so as not to appear badly totally different things and totally against the idea of free press ,it's a ridiculous suggestion
