How is the law regarding this in US?
Looked FCC site but couldn't find specific info except for things like
one can't broadcast indecent language etc. I am interested to find out
about political news in particular. Thanks.



In the US, the FCC does not regulate content.


Actually, they skirt that concept.

1. Indecency and obscenity are prohibited.
2. There are specific rules about political advertisements and the usage of
same by candidates.
3. There is a requirement to provide programming, a tthe licensee's
determination, to serve the community.
