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.

Hmmmmm.............
BOOM!
I saw that after I did that.
My laziness caught up to me!
From the article, I’d say they kicked the “off record” agreement as soon as they left the room.
I didn’t even think to take a screen shot. Not too quick on my feet, huh? :(
Oh well..then I guess its possible this story isn’t true.
But I think it is or at least some version of a dressing down
Been Jerking is more like it
He’s lashing out. I’m glad. The media is doing a disservice to the nation.
This ain’t the Bush years when Dubya wouldn’t fight back you MSM aholes. I hope you all BURN in the next 4 years.
It was just reported on 77WABC.
Trump called them out during the Al Smith Dinner white tie affair. He pointed at them to castigate. I have no doubt that Trump gave them the business again.
No PBS? Interesting
The Post won’t waste space on fake news................
You’re an idiot, unaware of what has occurred during the last 18 months.
It’s on drudge!!!!!
Actually, you have confused the NY Post with the Washington Post. The latter has "comPOST" as one of many, alternate names.
Personally, I think using labels like NYSlimes and comPOST is childish and petulant, as well as ruining the archival nature of this forum and interfering with the elimination of duplicate posts. But I think Mr. Trump raking these folks over the coals is appropriate and needed.
