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.

They could have retired a good portion of the debt by putting this on a streaming ‘Pay Per View’ format.

Isn't that the truth!

The stunned reporters tried to get a word in edgewise to discuss access to a Trump Administration

My 70 something old memory can not recall a single incidence when POTUS-elect or POTUS told the gathered media to their face they were a bunch of liars! Even Nixon and LBJ did not have the brass ones to do that! We are in a brand new ball game!!

Wolf is paid to READ the news. His intellect is questionable no matter what his resume says. The proof is in the work he attempts.

Funny . . . these past few days I haven’t been able to bring myself to look at CNN. I am getting fed up with all of them.

I fantasize about a meeting like this:

There’d be just a few chairs. A large sign that said: Welcome Propagandists!

“Did you all notice there are no seats at the table. Your access, briefly, is you don’t have any at all. Corporately, you’ve already sold off the only asset that means anything in your profession - your credibility.

As such, you have a corporate problem, because you are all on the outside. You might as well be on another continent. Your press passes are no longer valid. Leak control in my administration will be Biohazard Level 4.

If you do, through some accident in judgement, find yourself in possession of information from my administration through other than official channels, assume its disinformation designed to blow up in your faces.

I have more important things to do at this point, but I thought you may want to talk amongst yourselves about your collective betrayal to your profession. As such, I’ve brought in lunch. Pizza. And Pasta. Walnuts. Sauce.

All things I think are trending right now among folks in DC who do lunch.

Consider this a change in the menu. There are other, healthier things to eat, and those folks on such an unhealthy diet need to worry about how something like this is going to impact what they are free to do as they grow older.

Enjoy your meal.”

“these past few days I haven’t been able to bring myself to look at CNN. I am getting fed up with all of them.”

Perhaps we start complaining to FAA of being offended by CNN streaming at airports.

I sat here today, crocheting and watching the Trump Tower cam and watched them walk in, and I can tell you when they walked out into the lobby, it looked just like Nov. 8th when Trump was called for POTUS...

I am still laughing...whatever he said, whatever he did was the best thing he could have done, and then to come out with the 100 days you tube video right after couldn't have worked out better if it had been planned...

We don't like the media, talking heads and pundits and now we don't have to put up with them, Our Boss is going to show the world how a real leader acts...

And I suggest our ‘snowflake’ congress critters sit up and take notice, because President Trump will call them out by name and what is what...

I have said since he announced his run that he is a ‘viper’ and he will bite you back harder than you bit him, I watched him while I was living in PA for 17 years, he was on the news all the time and this man doesn't take crap from anyone!!!

I also seen him about a half a block away while I was in New York City one day, and he has a presence about him of loyalty, demeanor of a leader and I didn't even think of him as ever being our President at that time, but now that I think back on what I seen, oh yeah!!!

Don't let the ‘viper’ bite you and don't play with the lions either...

I want to thank you for your research and posting. I have shot that out on messenger. It is very germane. I would love to see the executions as convicted traitors on 90 % of the liars in the meeting where they got disemboweled by the greatest president since George Washington .

Can I vote for him again?

Trump is not Reagan, but he’s definitely going over the
media like Reagan did!

Trump’s setting the rules. That’s what leaders do.
