The UK has the concept, at least for televised news, of "Due Impartiality and Due Accuracy and Undue Prominence of Views and Opinions" [1]. I know the US loves its first amendment, but such a law could really help to have better televised debates and opinion programs on cable news (I'm obviously thinking of Fox News, but the problem exists for the other news channels). Other European-inspired laws like no political ads or limited amount of money spent during the campaign [2] would also help to have a better political environment.
