Read the McCain-Fengold Act.
As for your examples those are cleary situations where people are presenting their own opinions.
With sinclare we have a very large number of news outlets reporting something as "fact" 2 weeks before the election that is not fact but instead just a 2 hour SBVFT add.
Is it wrong for a corperation to flex it's market power? (the answer is yes). We have a situation here where Sinclare is flexing it's market power to spread lies and change the election. This would not be a problem if Sinclare didn't hold such a large portion of the market but it has market power and now it is flexing it.
