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.

Competing in the free market may be enough. We need a Trump News and I betcha it would catch on like wild fire.

You’re right. The MSM affects elections and it’s not because they always tell the truth. Trump had the hardest battle I’ve ever seen. The man earned his stripes that day...

That is so true and very well worth repeating.

Wow, I don't get why you are getting so much hostility. Is there some previous offense you've committed? I kind of agreed that the meeting wouldn't have gone down as characterized in the Post.

The media deserves anything they get and I understand everyone's joy at them at last being confronted, but I think Trump's team is smart enough to forcefully confront their lying and hypocrisy in a way that leaves him with some leverage, not acting like a child.

How would you expect a meeting with Donald Trump and the MSM to go?

If it was like a child, we needed the enfant terrible.

If you want justification for this meeting, check out this article in the Observer. It includes a looooonnngggg list of media collusion in the campaign. They should be embarrassed.

I imagine that is the point he would make, “If you are not going to act neutral, I will consider no longer the press, but partisans, and remove your access, and/or yank your licenses.”

That's an awesome video.

From the background, I'd say they filmed it out at his golf club in New Jersey yesterday.

Must confess the Donald let me down on this one. I was so looking forward to something like the scene in the movie “Braveheart” when Longshanks threw his son’s friend out of the castle window. Well, on further reflection, perhaps there were just too many deserving that fate for the Donald to have made a just decision about which one to toss …

I think it would be better to use the marketplace than regulation.

I have given this concept much thought, and I used to believe that we should allow "the market" to solve all problems, but even Adam Smith warned us about the creation of monopolies.

"The Market" can't solve this problem anymore than the market could solve the problem of John D Rockefeller and Standard Oil. Like the media, Standard Oil was so big it could control the market.

They are licensed so there could be criterion built into the licensing both to present both sides and to have fact checking with fines for lies/slander.

This isn't just a matter of allowing both sides to have access. The media is biased left all the way down to the cameramen and janitors. New York voted for Barack Obama by an 88% margin. The employees of the media companies are hired from that pool of people and they cannot help but be biased.

I think the only way to insure fairness is by insuring half the employees are conservatives, because bias can slip in simply as a consequence of people's world view. They can't even help it. The only way to prevent it is you have to have people with a different World View and different biases. With this method, both sides can keep each other honest.
