A division within the FDA has reportedly been told to switch its TVs from CNN to FOX News
An organization within the Food and Drug Administration has reportedly been asked to change its TV monitors from CNN to FOX News.
In an email sent on Wednesday to the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research within the FDA that was obtained by BuzzFeed reporter Julia Reinstein, the researchers were told that televisions had been changed because the current administration requested that "all monitors, under our control, on the White Campus, display FOX news."
