I think it's a complaint about the clickbaity phrasing. "by his own agency" vs. "by the FCC inspector general's office".

- aaronbrethorst 9y agoYes, it's a complaint about the clickbaity phrasing.
- jjeaff 9y agoDoesn't seem clickbaity at all to me. He could be investigated by any number of agencies. It just so happens that this one is the one he is in charge of. Accurate headline.
- nerfhammer 9y agoNo one is saying it's factually false. Why is it relevant/notable that it's "his own" agency? Are agency inspector generals normally loyal to their appointed directors? To the point where it goes without saying, I was supposed to assume that? The headline seems to invoke clues towards betrayals and alliances which humans' general hopeless fascination towards potentially in excess of veridicality is frequently exploited by clickbait
