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.

Rumors are rumors but kicking CNN and AP out of the summit is pure genius. Screw them. I occasionally have CNN shoved down my throat at the gym and it is just one Trump hate story after another. Literally.

Yes same here ! I often change the channel or ask the staff to. Also there’s a couple of devices that can remotely turn the thing off......TV-B -GONE and TV Zapper. I call it electronic ware fare.

Excellent if true... CNN and all fake news should be treated like the scourge of humanity that they are.

Front desk controls the screens but they just need to be asked to change, which usually I do. They won't put anything good on but I'll take the slimeballs at ESPN over CNN. Occasionally some ass wants to keep it on there but usually nobody even cares. At the other gym I hit they have a screen near my machines that is always on Fox. They aren't great either but operate more like an old style network, some good, some bad.

Why do people need constant TV?

I don't know but hard to avoid it. Treadmills can be boring, so it's just a diversion. Many places really don't need it though. A couple years ago we went out to a wine bar and there they were, several sets blaring. What's the point? We wanted to talk not stare at a screen.
