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.

"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."

It seems to me he did that, by letting them know what he thought of them, then he bypassed them by giving a statement on Youtube. He's basically told them he doesn't need them. They'll either tell the truth, or he gets the word out without them...using means they can't misreport on.

Loved that scene. It would have been brilliant if Trump had said that once the doors to the meeting room closed.

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

Sure. If someone has something like a trillion dollars to throw at the problem and thereby purchase sufficient assets to rival the major networks, then we could employ a market solution.

But such a thing cannot be done without enormous revenue streams.

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.

We all witnessed this election and for some time on how big of bullies our media is in trying to get their way. They have also abused their power way beyond corruption in pushing their agenda with lies and corruption.

Trump is doing it the right way to take on bullies and that is head on. The media is so corrupt, this NEEDS to be done. Go Trump!

Perhaps he may have told them that they are not going to be picking the President anymore, that their treachery has allowed the Democrats to go full retard socialist and left the people out in the cold. The people are about to take their government back.

Marketplace means competition for ad $ by ratings.
If a conservative station emerges that will activate competition.

Ownership of the existing networks is very concentrated and in many cases is in foreign hands. Changing those two factors would go a long way toward an honest MSM.

Monopoly is not a marketplace.

That is exactly what I said. The media corporations effectively have a monopoly, and in terms of licenses, they absolutely do.

It would take incredibly deep pockets to approach this problem from a "free market" standpoint. It is unrealistic to believe anyone could come up with so much money as to buy into this market.

“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.”

CNN several times each day lives up to its old nickname: Certainly Not News.

The Cable News Network (CNN), a 24-hour cable news channel, was founded by Ted Turner and first broadcast on June 1, 1980. The unflattering CNN nickname of “Certainly Not News” has been cited in print since at least 1993.

CNN has also been nicknamed the “Chicken Noodle News” (cited in print since 1981), the “Communist News Network” (cited in print since 1991), the “Clinton News Network” (cited in print since 1992), the “CIA News Network” (cited in print since 1997), the “Criminal News Network” (cited in print since 1998), the “Corporate News Network” (cited in print since 1999), the “Cartoon News Network” (cited in print since 2000) and “Crap Not News” (cited in print since 2007).

I heard a CBS radio spot earlier today that was slanted PRO-Trump! Maybe that was due to this meeting.

Problem is who do you set up to decide who is conservative? Many of the so called conservatives of the MSM are really there as placeholders and are no more conservative then Paul Ryan.

My guess is the Hamilton-Pence incident was the final straw. If it was already in the making, today was the perfect day for it, coming off that classic Leftist gaffe.
