yesterday s briefing, no video, no audio allowed. not many questions. there s something going on inside the white house. i m joined by cnn s senior media correspondent host of reliable sources brian stelter. thanks for being with us. glass half full. the press secretary is holding an on-camera briefing told, perhaps responding to the pressure here. i think it definitely is a response to the heightened state of alert. i think white house correspondents are on. heightened state of alert because it s been eight days since spicer had an on-camera briefing. the off-camera times he takes questions, lately, they haven t been allowing audio either. the white house says you can t record the audio. that s of course a pain for tv net works like cnn and for radio networks like npr. bottom line, it seems the white house is inch by inch by inch rolling back on access, rolling back on those chances to take questions. but we ll see today how useful the briefing really is on camera. our colleague
