Why is broadcast media regulated but print media is not?

Broadcast media uses public airwaves, which are considered limited and owned by the government, whereas print media is viewed as utilizing unlimited resources to distribute content. The regulation of broadcast media aims to ensure fair and accessible content for all viewers, while print media is seen as more independently produced and distributed. Additionally, broadcast media has the potential to reach a larger and more diverse audience, warranting closer regulation.

What group is assumed too much power?

In my opinion that would be the media; in particular, the broadcast media. Those that believe that the government or the people in government are the answer must take into consideration that so much of the media is delivering opinion rather than news. We don't get to hear what government officials are actually doing only what a particular media person or media group wants us to think they are doing. That power trumps the power of the government.
