President-elect Donald Trump exploded at media bigs in an off-the-record Trump Tower powow on Monday, sources told The Post.
“It was like a f—ing firing squad,” said one source.
“Trump started with Jeff Zucker and said I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed….
“The meeting was a total disaster. The TV execs and anchors went in there thinking they would be discussing the access they would get to the Trump administration, but instead they got a Trump-style dressing down,” the source added.
A second source confirmed the encounter.
“The meeting took place in a big board room and there were about 30 or 40 people, including the big news anchors from all the networks…,” the source said.
“Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong. He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. He called out Jeff Zucker by name and said everyone at CNN was a liar, and CNN was network of liars.
“Trump didn’t say Katy Tur by name, but talked about an NBC female correspondent who got it wrong, then he referred to a horrible network correspondent who cried when Hillary lost who hosted a debate – which was Martha Raddatz who was also in the room.

LOL.
The media-idiots deser4ved that and more so.
MAGA!
Not all the media is bad. Here is one media outlet that seems to want to be fair about reporting accurately on the Trump administration.
However yes there are some past media outlets that are going extinct (or at least getting the respect on accuracy/reliability due to the “Weekly World News” tabloids or “The Onion”) due to their credibility problems. Perhaps they may fix themselves so they have a future and kudos to the President-Elect for inviting them in to meet to give them a fair chance. But if they blow it then BYE BYE BYE and farewell to them having any access to information.
These media jackals accused him of rape and being KKK.
If Donald can cite some actual truths, not just opinions, and hold the press critically up against that... he’s done exactly the right thing.
after the VM war, the media think they are doing it right....but, the great unwashed in fly-over-country see things differently....
Pepe! Lol!
+1000!
I’m in.
Drudge’s link is to the Post article. I have my doubts about what the Post says happened. He may have reamed them in the meeting, sure. But that wasn’t the purpose of the meeting. I don’t know what he wanted from the meeting, but the joy of yelling at them and then kicking them out wasn’t it, I reckon.
YES! That's EXACTLY what they were thinking. And you know why? Because they are so freaking vain they actually think Donald Trump needs them. They can't imagine a public figure who doesn't bow down to them and beg them for their favor.
They walked into that room kings, and left as spanked children.
Good. Nice to see them called out. I suspect he will not hesitate to punish the liars.
Donald is right to roar back at them: “Baloney!”
To the cowardly dhimi, courage and forthrightness are childish and petulant. They have to be considered so as to keep subservient sycophancy from being despicable.
Since they're not offering a recording of the meeting, the media can say whatever they want, and because they're drama queens, they lie and embellish everything they write or say.
Or, kingmakers... but they aren’t going to destruct Donald.
Fox was there.
Now that’s just plain funny
I think media bias provides at least a 10% boost in vote numbers for Democrats. I think all of our lost elections fall within that range.
But let's focus on Obama for a moment. This guy never held a real job in his life. He hung around with terrorists and racists, did drugs routinely, and couldn't even manage to balance his own checkbook prior to getting elected to the Illinois Senate by use of a dirty trick. (And likely an illegal one.)
The Media sent 200 "journalists" to Alaska to dig through Sarah Palin's garbage looking for dirt they could use on her, but for some reason they didn't think it worth the effort to do a little poking around in Chicago.
My point is this. A real media would have fileted and barbequed the corrupt, incompetent, idiot nobody known as Barack Obama. A real media would have investigated him up the yin-yang and exposed all the stuff we only found out later like Bath-house Barry, heavy drug usage, associations with the Weather Underground and the Black Liberation Army , and so on.
Yeah, McCain was no great shakes as a candidate, but the reality of Barack is that he was an absolutely horrible candidate if the media would but expose him.
They didn't, and that is why he won. Had Barack gotten the Trump treatment, we would never have had to hear his stupid name again.
Well, that ends their cordial. friendly relationship. /s
I love it, because “you can tell them to go f@#k themselves”.
