"Fox News had a handful of executives present at the meeting, including co-presidents Bill Shine and Jack Abernathy, vice president of news and editorial Jay Wallace and Suzanne Scott, the vice president of programming and development at the network."

What, no Megyn Kelly?

This is bold.

Tells me he has a powerful hand to play.

I’m afraid it’s going to be an olive branch meeting. I’m all for Trump showing magnanimity; however, these media clowns will never ever be square with him. My favorite parts of Trump’s campaign rallies were when he called out the media for being a bunch of liars and inciting the crowd to boo lustily. I want more of that.

Repeat: the media will NEVER give President Trump a square deal no matter what he does.

I imagine this may be a Come-to-Jesus meeting.

He can tell them “Hey, that’s a really nice FCC license you have there. Be a real a shame if anything happened to it.”

I think Trump is going to do to the media what Obama did to the coal industry. Put so many regulations in place that the media will be forced to get rid of their news divisions.

We live in interesting times.

So the off the record agreement stipulates that no one can report who was in the room or what was said, yet the Daily Mail reports who represented the networks (interesting that FNC apparently brought none of their “talent”). I want to know who was on Trump’s side of the table. I’m guessing Conway, Bannon, maybe Jason Miller, maybe Priebus, and maybe Trump’s future Press Secretary. Was Ingraham there?

With regard to what was discussed, will it leak out? With that many people, it seems likely. Gotta believe the Trump team anticipates it will. Wonder if this might be some kind of test...or trap...

Very interesting. I would pay good money to be a fly on the wall. Undoubtedly the media will ALL start leaking about the content of this meeting, but I wouldn’t believe a single thing coming out of their mouths.

Hopefully that is how it gets played behind the scenes.
Show integrity and access will be given. Report untruths and onsite credentials get revoked.

“Your access to me and my administration will be directly proportional to the integrity with which you report on both.”

You’re right. That’s exactly what he should say.

I would hope the meeting starts something like this.

“As I’ve shown by winning this election you folks no longer control the narrative...”

The entire meeting will be conducted 'off the record,' meaning attendees must promise not to report on what is said or who is in the room.

Yeah like that's gonna happen.

I’m afraid not. It was organized by Kellyanne, whom I adore for her campaign expertise but someone who is used to rubbing elbows with these elitists.

Summary: Trump called the media and asked them to meet him. Every network except CBS sent the head of their news bureau and their top anchors. CBS sent their morning team.

Analysis: CBS went to get see if Trump had some good recipes for their cooking segment.

Don’t patronize the MSM parent companies: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
