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.

Kill them with focused kindness.
Then when he has to share the bad news, his intentions do not appear like those of a monster.
Exactly.
Since Trump played the media like a fiddle for 17 months, where did ya that?
You don’t seem to understand. The media’s bias is not just some silly habit or “aw shucks there they go again” situation. Their insidious actions, lies, cover ups (etc) have actively destroyed a large part of our American fabric. The rule of law. Civilization.
We hired trump to fight back. God bless this man! He is exactly who we needed in this desperate hour.
I think it would be better to use the marketplace than regulation. They are licensed so there could be criterion built into the licensing both to present both sides and to have fact checking with fines for lies/slander.
A Message from President-Elect Donald J. Trump
Love the message, and love how he has launched it as a video even if the media won't give him the national network air time it deserves.
Picture, what picture?
As for “vapors” you had better be aware how powerful steam can be.
Thank you. And be very aware of those who start calling for “Compromise” and to, “Bury the hatchet with the media” claptrap.
“Let them-feel-the-wrath of Trump’s broad-side! Le-et Free-dom ring!”
After the scolding, I’ll bet the room stank when the media heads collectively shart their pants, lol. There’s a South Park episode waiting to happen.
I can’t stand our media so this is awesome if true.

Well said.
The media has been wagging the dog for decades. For once we have a leader that isn’t going to bend over and present to them - he is going to challenge them and give as good as he gets.
My opinion, and it is only my lowly opinion, is that Trump is going to win the admiration of millions of Americans that are not currently fans because he is going to stand up like a man and win that respect. He is going to convince honest people that the media is corrupt, people who have been simply willing to hear the media tell them what to think for too long.

“Now I’m wondering if the Mitt meeting was the same trap.”
My thought was the same also the same goes with Ted Cruz. What an awesome time to be alive and witness history in the making. A real history!
it got deleted because it triggered someone.

Maybe FR is still a mite too classy for that, Ant.
In the 1930s when Hitler was spewing his anti-Jew diatribes, turning off the radio may have spared them the pain of listening to him, but it did nothing whatsoever to counteract the murderous effect it had on his fanatical followers.
Turning off our own televisions is not going to solve this problem. We need to interdict the propaganda before it gets to it's target and influences them.
Doing nothing solves nothing.
We must demand balance. One party control of the airwaves is dangerous to the nation.
Donald ain’t afraid to be blunt.
Big difference between being a candidate and the leader of the free world. He is going to bang his bully pulpit and put the media BACK in their place - that of reporting news and not attack dogs.
He is now able to take his case directly to the people whereas before the media was able to only report what they ‘wanted’ to report while ignoring the rest.
Can’t do that any longer.
Good stuff!
