I'm confused by what you're saying here:

1) Neither the British government nor the armed forces make available tactical dispositions or ongoing operations of special forces

2) Ditto: USA government and Department of Defense

3) Both governments make available limited post-operational details to the media

4) The UK & US press and TV then make the most of those details.

5) There is a difference in so far as there is no real US equivalent of UK tabloids (Sun, Mirror, etc). The nearest the US has is the nonsense given away or sold cheaply in their Walmart(ASDA) supermarkets which may well print the stuff alongside headlines such as 'Obama is a Martian' but no one there takes it seriously. If you therefore take the Sun/Mirror/Star/Mail stuff seriously, then please see a doctor.
