We don't in the UK, because we have complicated impatiality laws (if you mention a candidate in an election, you have to mention all the others, and you can have broadcast licenses revoked for being biased - I'm simplifying, but it's a real law. Some students at my old university radio station nearly got the MW license revoked for being dismissive/rude about candidates that they didn't like, and not mentioning everyone.)
On the other hand, we have a rabidly partisan print media instead, which is now moving onto the internet (daily mail, guardian, etc).
