The FCC’s regulatory authority concerning journalism extends only to “over-the-air broadcasters who transmit their programs via the publicly owned spectrum,” not to cable television, satellite television, printed material, or the Internet. Thus the FCC has no power to enforce any supposed “press guidelines” against cable and satellite news networks such as CNN and MSNBC (or a news agency such as the Associated Press).

sorry no FCC raid against CNN

Suddenly the "cable" in "cable news" makes a lot more sense.
