Jeff-
All politics and other-type comments aside, the quick answer to your original basic question is that broadcast TV uses the public airwaves and therefore is regulated by our government, but cable TV is a private industry that pays for all of its infrastructure and therefore can put any type of signals on there they please (more or less).
The same distinction is why broadcast TV has strict limits on language and other content but cable/satellite/fiber lacks such limits.
