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 you pussies don’t straighten up and I catch you coordinating with a campaign ever, I will have you in prison for violating campaign finance laws.

“I think I hate the US media MORE than ISIS.”

There is, in fact, something particularly disgusting about a traitor who spits on his own country, as the US media does.

Perhaps we start complaining to FAA of being offended by CNN streaming at airports.

Wonderful idea, however it's the FAA that decides what to play. This article says PHL pays $90,000 a year to show CNN, and this was in 2013.

So it looks like we need to express our opinion to each airport. Could be a good thing to do during a longer layover.

His approval rating will skyrocket now.

It’s so nice to see a man with, um, er, manhood take a stand.

“why are we reading about it in the Post? These people have no honor. What a mistake to trust them with anything.”

Yes. CBS Evening News had a report on the alt-right which included an interview with a couple of loons, one racist and one professor.

If Trump’s meeting actually went like this, all he did was p!ss the whiners off.

Thank you. The pearl-clutching is ridiculous.

Ben, I don’t think it was meant to be childish. I think they were being schooled on how they are to conduct themselves for the next 4 years, since they have no integrity and are socially ignorant. It really is trying to discipline them, since they have no self-discipline of their own.

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

Yes. They expected him to come around and lick their hand in appeasement like an abused dog.

YES !

The war will have three theaters of combat :

The Propaganda System

The public education system

The Legal system

all need to be defeated and neutralized in order to set the ship back on course

“Trump needs a tough sonofabitch for press secretary.”

Ann Coulter & Howard Stern

Are names that come to mind

Better yet. Put everything on the White-House web-page. Let reporters email their questions and then the Trump team will decide which ones to answer.

They thought he was going to come with hat in hand, asking them to be nice to him.

WOW!! I’m so proud of Trump for telling the media HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHO AND WHAT THEY ARE.

Awesome ..!!!!!
