CNN is throwing a temper tantrum over the White House’s crackdown on fake news, including an entire segment devoted to labeling press secretary Sean Spicer “useless” and complaints about press events on Twitter.

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin interviewed reporter Jim Acosta on Monday about “the new normal” for White House press briefings that’s leaving the “really fake news” outlet in the cold.

Baldwin questioned Acosta on President Trump allegedly withholding information from the public, and CNN in particular, and his response stopped just short of kicking and screaming on the White House lawn.

Acosta’s tirade devolved from frustrations over alleged recordings from Oval Office meetings, to the president’s take on climate change, to a personal attack on Spicer.

“Sean Spicer gave another evasive answer when it came to the questions on the tapes?” Baldwin asked Acosta in a live broadcast Monday.

“That’s right,” Acosta said. “He was asked, because the president said this to us, uh, more than a week ago, that he was going to answer the question where are the tapes, are there these audio recordings of his conversations over here at the White House. The president said you would find out about that shortly.

“More than a week has gone by and we don’t have an answer to that and Sean Spicer said to reporters – again off camera, no audio – that perhaps we’ll have an answer to that by the end of this week.

“But, of course, Sean told us in the past he would get an answer as to whether the president believes in climate change. The question was asked during the briefing today, ‘Well, have you gone back and asked the president that?’ Sean Spicer did not have an answer to that question, whether the president believes in climate change, on a matter that happened a couple of weeks ago,” Acosta continued.

That’s when Acosta went off the rails.

“So the White House press secretary is getting to a point, Brooke, where he’s just kind of useless. You know, if he can’t come out and answer the questions, and they’re just not going to do this on camera or audio, why are we even having these briefings and these gaggles in the first place?”

Baldwin teed Acosta up for another rant: “Why isn’t he having these conversations with the president?”

“It’s a really good question, Brooke. And it’s a question I would ask, but unfortunately at this White House we wouldn’t have the video or the audio to show you the answer to that question because of the stonewalling that we’re getting over here at the White House,” he said.

“That’s the White House, behind me!” Accosta said as he gestured toward the building. “The White House!”

“And it’s just bizarre. I don’t know what world we’re living in right now, Brooke,” he said. “We’re standing at the White House and they bring us into the briefing room here at the White House, and they won’t answer these questions on camera or let us record the audio.

“I don’t know why everyone is going along with this. I just doesn’t make any sense to me, and it just feels like we’re sort of slowly but surely being dragged into what is a new normal in this country where the president of the United States is allowed to insulate himself from answering hard questions,” he cried.

Acosta also waging his war online, where he’s repeatedly directed Tweets at the president and taken swipes at Spicer for shunning CNN, which Trump has labeled “really fake news.”

“At off camera no audio briefing, Spicer took a question from a Russian reporter but not from CNN,” Acosta tweeted Monday.

Acosta has also pinned a tweet to his Twitter profile that reads: “We are real news Mr. President. #realnews.”

CNN’s ongoing feud with the president dates back to the news agency’s biased coverage during the 2016 campaign. More recently fired former FBI Director James Comey testified before a Senate intelligence committee that much of the mainstream media reporting on the agency’s probe into alleged Russian interference was blatantly wrong.

Much of that reporting, of course, aimed to paint the president as complicit in some sort of collusion, though Comey testified that Trump was never part of the investigation.
