[See NewsBusters for more.] CBS reporter Major Garrett melted down on Tuesday as he reacted to CBSN losing its live feed after a Donald Trump press conference. The senior White House reporter began yelling at all the "dummies” responsible. CNN's Jim Acosta also got cut off.  While in mid-sentence, CBSN (the streaming version of CBS) lost its live feed of Garrett. A few minutes later, anchor Reena Ninan returned to him, hoping to talk about Trump and Baltic state leaders. Instead, Garrett began ranting about the power failure: “We should have a big piece of tape on every piece of plug. Don’t touch this, dummy! Dummy! Don’t touch this!”
