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

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.

Trump needs to adjust his fire a bit.. He is bracketing the target but not getting direct hits. They are liars but why? They are leftist propagandists and their agitprop is on purpose.

I can’t wait until he takes the oath. These leftist and media who are making these stupid demands seemed to have forgotten, Trump won and they’re the losers. Losers don’t get to make demands or decisions.

They’re getting educated as we speak.

It’s pretty hard to be the most powerful man on the planet and not even be able to handle his own media. No wonder the rest of the world laughs at us . . . well, did laugh at us.

Funnier even is that he gave us them hot chocolate, food, a tent and heaters this weekend. He is treating them like the children they are. Discipline the wrong doing while showing kindness. That has to just kill the idiot liars!

I don't know if this story is fiction, or not, however our Main Stream Media needs to be called out that they are enemies of America. A Nation that has a two-party political system, relying on democratic elections, cannot survive IF the custodians of the news information are working for one party - and advocating socialism. The MSM purveys in outright lies, and by selective reporting. They call Man-caused Climate Change an accepted fact - when it is more akin to a religious belief - requiring 'faith' in high priests.

Absolutely right on target. One party control of the information delivery system is a THREAT to the nation. It must be destroyed by the introduction of a counteracting force, meaning Conservatives have to be fairly represented in all positions throughout the entire media system.

We need to pass laws making it illegal to discriminate against conservatives in hiring, and we need to apply the same standard of investigation they use for minority representations; Quotas.

If you don't have your proper quotas of conservatives (at least 40% off all employees) then you are automatically guilty of discrimination. Then we fine the Sh*t out of them until they are brought into compliance by having a corporate wide staff of at least 40% conservatives.

Use their own liberal tactics against them.

They expected him to kiss the ring.

In reality he told them to kiss his ass.

It’s time to defund PBS too. Just watched them pick at Trump for 10 minutes with a NYT douche-nozzle named Schmidt.

I’m sure he gave specifics. The media isn’t going to report those because they would have to out themselves as liars.

And lo: They wailed piteously, prostrated themselves covered with ashes and sack cloth, and scourged their own backs with flails.

"Trump spokeswoman Kellyanne Conway told reporters the gathering went well."
