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.

Hey, BenLurkin, it was a “conversation”.
Do not doubt that their peons will impart the message up the chain of command.
The only way to defeat liberals is to go on offense and stay on offense. Never let up on them.
We finally have in Trump a real fighter. Until now, there was no chance of pushing back the blue advance because we didn’t have anyone with the testicular fortitude that Trump has. For a change, we have someone who is playing to win.
They need an attitude adjustment. :)
Roaaaaaaaaaaaaast....
Fair points. You may be right!
The NEW media is the internet. No longer will news and information have to be filtered through a handful of networks that have agendas.
CNN has been unwatchable for many years now. Their days are numbered for a large audience if they don't completely overhaul the station. MSNBC will not change. There is a very small audience of malcontents who will always watch them. All other stations will have to start telling the truth without twisting the information because they will be competing with the truth that is on the internet. The public will no longer sit still for the lies.
I am so grateful for our Future President Donald Trump.
Obviously, you didn't bother to read my factual, interesting post, up thread.
TRUMP ISN'T THE FIRST....HARRY TRUMAN COMPLAINED ABOUT A REPORTER'S CRITIQUE OF HIS DAUGHTER'S SINGING, VIA LETTER AND THE WHOLE THING WAS PUBLISHED AND TALKED ABOUT ALL OVER THE MSM !
What Trump did, was far LESS "childish" and "petulant", not to mention thin skinned !
And, heh heh heh, if they don’t... tweets are coming
I would have paid money to have seen Martha Radish’s face after Trump’s comments about her crying. Hahaha!
cheers,

You forgot the sarcasm tag.
They do most of their damage by omitting stories damaging to Democrats and Democrat policies.
Hillary running guns to what became ISIS? You didn't hear a wisp of it on the regular media.
Yup, this wasn’t about critiques of art (de gustibus non disputandum) but about facts
Hey MSM... this is not your grandfather’s President. There’s a new sheriff in town.
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.
Likewise the Media pushed the meme of police shooting black me for no cause, and they (as well as Obama) virtually lit the fuses of the gas cans that the people used to burn down large portions of Ferguson and Baltimore.
So, if Trump dressed down our destructive Media - good for him.
(glutton for punishment, it appears ;-)
We need to show liberals what happens to them when they go too far. They have to pay a price for their lying, deceit and underhanded tactics. If there are no consequences, they will keep doing the same things to us again and again.
Trump needs to dole out a serious ass kicking to these weasels. Crush the enemy and they will think twice before they attack you again.
