Michael Powell May Be Leaving The FCC

from the changes-the-rules-and-run dept

    "Industry sources" (i.e., lobbyists with an axe to grind) told the reporter that they heard this from "confidants". Pretty weak. Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that he's not leaving.

    Probably true. I did post it under the "rumors" category, but you're right that there isn't much behind this one.
