Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘ f—ing firing squad’
NY Post ^ | November 21, 2016 | Emily Smith and Daniel Halper

Posted on 11/21/2016 2:17:56 PM PST by conservative98

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.

If the leaks are true (always a dicey prospect with the MSM), then it was well deserved. However, it is highly doubtful that Trump did not also offer an olive branch to these undeserving morons.

I don’t believe this.

He couldn’t possibly be that childish and petulant.

Thank you, President-Elect Trump.

I was just flipping through the channels looking for news about Japan and there was Wolf Blitzer, gleefully asking if Trump is doing anything wrong by meeting with Indian business officials. I guess nothing has changed.

After one of Trumps trolls of the media one guy..I think major Garrett was so speechless that guy in the control room thought he couldn’t hear his question because there was no answer and he kept moving his head.

It was hilarious

And that is a totally one-sided viewpoint.

I guess I’m confused, what did they expect, cookies and milk?

They literally libeled the man, smeared his reputation, demonized him daily, what were they thinking he would be their BFF...?

"A second source confirmed the encounter."

Emily Smith lies, and Daniel Halper swears to it.

There is no way this is true. No Way! There is just too much win to this. The Media has deserved this for soooooo long. It arouses me just thinking about it...
