Broadcast media is regulated by government agencies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States, which sets guidelines and enforces regulations on things like content standards, ownership rules, and licensing.

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.
