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.

BAWHAHA it’s all over social media!!!!!oh boy!!!
Yes, we have entered into a new media reality...
No longer does someone NEED the MSM to "report" on them...
Trump has something like 50 million data points of contacts in his data base built on the RNC data, facebook, and twitter...
Trump can easily bypass the MSM to get is message out...
They simply have not figured that out yest...
“But for a President elect to call in a score of journalists and then excoriate them for being opposed to him would be petulant and childish.”
See, there’s your whole problem right there, Neb.
Trump didn’t call them in to excoriate them for being opposed to him. He called them in to excoriate them for being liars when their duty is to inform the populace with the unvarnished truth.
So, nice try, no cigar.
Kudos to Trump for showing restraint.
[No PBS? Interesting]
Why dress down PBS when the network may be on the chopping block?
You're a piddling little nothing of a nobody, who wait YEARS before getting up enough courage to post here. Why not just go back to "lurking"? *snicker*
She was busted in all her scandals, but the media didn't bring up a whiff of it. Travelgate alone should have resulted in her doing prison time.
But like I said, the media do more damage by omitting information the public ought to know.
Forget that...take away their press credentials. They're going to make up news anyways so make them outsiders. Let the conservative press "be" the only place where news is disseminated.
Kinda gives you the warm and fuzzies. Reminds us of “Give ‘em hell Harry.” And the libs just loved him.
He should have never been permitted to take a job on a "News" network. He is the press secretary for Bill Clinton, and I kept waiting for people to call out the slimy little bastard as a partisan shill, which he is.
Who said Trump couldn't handle "His own media"? The media? And we're supporting the rest of the world and what they think at this point is irrelevant. Pay attention.
KellyAnne Conway said it was definitely NOT a fence-mending meeting....
So I believe it DID happen.....

______________
Torture value?
Agreed. Trump told them the truth up close, in person, TO THEIR FACES! No one else would have done that, and I include Dole, Bush, McCain and Romney!
You don't really think this was Donald Trump being petulant because they oppose him do you? Donald Trump was delivering the first salvo against the fifth column of the fourth estate in his battle to MAGA. You need to wake up and get with the program, lest you be seen as the enemy pariah you are already suspected to be.
[What part of “Off the record” do these media whores fail to comprehend as they left this meeting falling all over each other to report what went on inside this “off the record” assembly. They seem to a bit unclear on what “Off the Record” means.]
If MSM distorts the meeting, no doubt TRUMP will air the unedited version online.
I think President Elect Trump put them on-notice. They want access and the way to get it is TELL THE TRUTH! Will they do it? Doubtful.
Well, if someone repeats a lie often enough, they begin to believe it.
If true, I love this man.
It would have been the best meeting ever if he had the meeting on the roof and told them they all had to go on national tv and confess to their bias. And then promise to do real investigative journalism on Fast&Furious, obama birth certificate, obama records of every kind, benghazi, the IRS, the whole kit and kaboodle(too many to list). When they refused, Jeff Zucker gets tossed off the roof.
Tthey would all raced each other to get in front of a camera and tell their stories. They could then proceed to take down the last 8 years and put the clintons, their cronies, and obama in prison jump suits. That would have been a productive meeting.
