Reporters and other observers ripped into the Reuters politics Twitter page for posting a livestream of the outside of Sean Spicer's home on Friday.
Spicer announced his resignation as White House press secretary on Friday morning, and Reuters puzzled onlookers by putting a camera outside of Spicer's home.
"WATCH LIVE: The scene outside Sean Spicer's house following the announcement of his resignation," Reuters tweeted with the link to the livestream.
As of this article's posting, it was still up.
"Whatta town," New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman wrote about the live feed.
National Review's Jim Geraghty called it "creepy."
Yes, Reuters has a live camera outside Spicer's house. pic.twitter.com/ZPYVpKAb55

Reuters TV is running a live shot of the outside of Spicer's house. Whatta town.

If Reuters TV is going to do this creepy live broadcast of Sean Spicer’s house, could we at least get some HGTV-style commentary?

This is not newsworthy. Spicer is at the White House, not at home....and he has young kids. Don't know why Reuters would do this. pic.twitter.com/XSzYclWdGj

Reuters is now publicizing where Spicer lives - still better than @washingtonian's weak excuse for publishing @KellyannePolls' I guess. pic.twitter.com/d9hO5wAanz

Deleted last tweet because I didn't want to share Reuters livestreaming outside of Spicer's House. Because, come on.

Reminder that Sean Spicer is father of two small children and doing a live-feed of his families private residence is disgusting @Reuters pic.twitter.com/IaoTj5xhTm

I wonder if @jeffmason1 thinks it's appropriate that @Reuters is acting like a cheap paparazzi outlet by setting up shop at Spicer's house
