It looks like the aftermath of today's White House press briefing was VERY contentious.
AP's Josh Boak pulled the plug after only 39 mins b/c the AP gets that power.
No audio, but cameras showed reporters in the back were NOT happy, leading WHCA prez Steven Portnoy to stand up.

The AP's Josh Boak quickly left, leaving CBS News Radio correspondent & White House Correspondents Association prez Steven Portnoy to deal with the room.
This went on for at least six minutes (as the camera feed cut out, but again, no audio). Some were taping it on their phones.

NEWS from me: I've obtained audio of the post-briefing debate. Needless to say, if you're someone who cares about press access and has enjoyed watching The Psaki Show like I have, you're going to want to listen to this.
Stay tuned to @newsbusters for the audio and my full recap.
