CNN White House reporter Jim Acosta went ballistic on the Trump administration Monday when press secretary Sean Spicer called a briefing and refused to allow cameras or microphones to record the answers.
Acosta, known as a reliable workhorse of CNN, compared the Trump administration to “bad reality television,” said the no recording rules Spicer randomly put into effect would not be tolerated at “city council meetings or a governor’s press conference,” and pointed out Spicer is a highly paid government employee and the people who pay his salary deserve to hear and see his answers to important questions on camera. Acosta topped it off by declaring Spicer “kinda useless.”

Meanwhile, there are new reports that Spicer may soon be replaced. Several outlets are reporting Spicer is interviewing candidates to take his job in the briefing room. He will reportedly stay with the administration in some other capacity.
