The FCC does have a bunch of goofy rules governing the coverage of political campaigns.
In addition, there are other responsibilites for ownership and usage of public airwaves.

I must admit I don't know much about the rules regarding coverage of political parties and candidates in the media.
It seem to me that it would be quite easy for a media network to give a slightly biased representation of the facts (spending more positive time on one candidate and more negative time on the other, for instance), but then again, I may well be wrong.
