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.

a) I don’t believe this happened. Not as reported.

b) Using the prestige of high elected office to call a meeting of journalists for the purpose of intimidation would be extraordinary and unprecedented in this nation.
Maybe in Venezuela, or Chile it would be okay, but not here.

c) I am not nor have I ever been a “nevertrumper”

I felt all along that President Trump would be completely liberated from giving a damn about what the enemedia had to say about him anymore after they attacked him 24x7 and tried to label him with every pejorative in the book and yet he won anyway. So, what’s the enemedia going to do now if he does read them the riot act? Add more hours to the day so they can attack him even more?

Whether or not Trump said it, the substance of the alleged statements are true.

FDR was a stinking Pinko.

And LBJ was well known for being childish and petulant.

You know that these people make millions per year for just standing or sitting in front of a camera and reading words written by someone else who is not paid that much. Then, as millionaires, they castigate those who make their millions by working and producing things that better society.

They deserve everything they are getting. It has been too long in coming.

Donald is Donald. He’ll DO that when he knows the time is right for it. Which it is.

The US media IS more insidious than ISIS! Our most busy, least informed know ISIS is evil!

And yes, winning feels REALLY REALLY WEIRD. And good. Like sleeping naked in silk sheets for the first time.
