Donald Trump’s media summit was a ‘ f—ing firing squad’
NY Post ^ | November 21, 2016 | Emily Smith and Daniel Halper

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.

Thanks, Mr. Trump—you spoke for all of us!

We must NOT stop speaking for Mr. Trump...don't let Political Correctness stand in the way of facts and truth...speak up and out, stand for honesty as you do of your family and demand that for our schools as well.

President elect Trump means no more political correctness/censorship-lies.......there ARE Winners and Losers after all.

In the movie Patton, didn't Patton make the remark about having an individual "Skinned"?

The media needs to be skinned, individually and slowly for their lies and omit ions.

I go away for a few hours, and this happens. Poor babies. Bless their hearts. It’s about time someone addressed them directly about their deceitfulness.

This is about distortions that they KNOW are distortions and LOVE to promulgate.

I used to think that. Now I think these people are stuck so far up the Anus of Liberal social circles that they have lost the ability to recognize anything like an objective truth.

I think in many cases they are simply unable to realize they are lying or distorting.

Pull the FCC licenses of lying news organizations.
They can criticize all they want but lies in a news report to affect a political outcome in a non-editorial broadcast should cause them to lose their broadcast licenses.

“The Media should be banned from entering the White House because of National Security reasons. Trump could provide an older mobile home at some trailer park about 30 miles outside of DC for news briefings. The White House Press Secretary could meet with them over an internet connection to a large screen located in the media trailer.”

excellent idea Gator.. this needs to be forwarded to Trumps team! seriously. It might not be a double wide but it can surely be an inferior, tacky building.

The ones who have proved loyal will get DJT personal briefings weekly in the oval office.(OAN, FBN, RSBN)

"President Trump should have two press rooms in the WH, one for real journalists and one for all these liberal liars. A clown can address the liars while they get zero access to the Trump administration."

Something like that is not a bad idea. Trump needs to raise up conservative and alternative media and weaken the anti-American MSM as much as possible. One great legacy would be to leave a broad, national, conservative media in the place of the present plague of locusts masquerading as journalists.

For once they are hearing the truth. I don’t think it will penetrate their biased skulls, but at least someone told them who they really are.

There remains the moral question which can’t be eluded. You might have been persuaded to think that moral questions can be reduced to social questions in any context. I can’t. The X-rays still shine through the intestinal wall, and the contents hate it.

I agree, and if they do start to catch a glimpse of truth it triggers them and they need a safe spot.
