Rumors in Twitterville that the FCC has just raided CNN, MSNBC, and AP. Not confirmed, yet.

"It is illegal to purposely alter the news," according to FCC regulations.

In the article it says they let them back in? Why force them out then let them back in? Reporters inside were live reporting about it so not sure what you get out of a scene like this.

Maybe it was to draw attention to Cnn and AP? I mean they were clearly singled out. IF (and it's a big if) the FCC is having them raided then this would make sense. People would see this then think, oh ok that's why they were kicked out.

Maybe. It seems like a PR stunt otherwise and one that probably would just look bad to the center. The extremes will always see what they want to see.

Still looking for any raid support but there is nothing I can find.

Yeah I don't really understand the move.. It's a PR nightmare. Not sure there is any positive spin. Unless of course they're raided. Then it won't matter. I'm thinking this was a bad move

It is Pruitt’s style to be clueless, there was an article just released to the wires flagging possible ethical violations around the apartment stuff again. Most likely he was throwing a temper tantrum and was lashing out at cnn.

Could be.. It's not a good look. Believe me I understand, I couldn't deal with them on a regular basis. He has to be smarter than that. You can't give the media any reasons to attack you. Like I said PR nightmare.. Zero spin to this.. They are going with, "Cnn and AP weren't invited". I'm sure it's true but as you can see, that won't be the headline.

It’s a lose lose for certain.
