At FDA, TVs now turned to Fox News and can't be switched

Last Updated May 8, 2017 12:27 PM EDT

Updated with FDA comment.

<...>

An FDA spokesperson got back to CBS News after our deadline, telling us, "There was no directive or memorandum from the Administration that went out to employees about broadcast news channels displaying on monitors in common areas throughout the FDA's White Oak campus."

The spokesperson explained that a variety of news stations run on the monitors in the common areas on campus, including CNN, MSNBC and FOX News, and that the email referenced had been sent by a customer service representative from the FDA's Office of Facilities in response to a group of employees.

As a note, White Oak, which used to be an old base (Naval ordinance lab) that had been closed and repurposed, is a huge campus with a couple dozen buildings.
