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.

Karma...getting sweeter every day.
We now in a Trumpian world...and the lying miscreants in a but load of hurt.
The Wonderful World of Winning!
I was born in a very small MS town but have lived in AL since 1966 after my husband graduated from MS State with a degree in physics. I have never understood the love for moon pies and RC or boiled peanuts. I do like peanuts in a coke. It would be a sad world if we all liked the same food.
LOL, oh man...
Then that network would certainly be shut out, don’t you think?
What does off the record mean to media nitwits?
lololol
CNN has been lying for far more than 8 years. They covered up war crimes and human rights abuses (torture, rape, murder) under Saddam Hussein to keep their Baghdad bureau and then cried like lying concern trolls about renegades at Abu Ghraib blaming it all on GW Bush.
Funny, I thought the same thing when I read your comment.
Heh! True. Have you ever eaten “GooGoo Clusters/Bars”? I had friends who would visit me in England and I would request them pack GooGoos, Moon Pies, and Martha White self-rising corn meal. ;)
You’d think more people in airports would be interested in The Weather Channel. Esp. if it would just stick to more or less current weather. Maybe run current stock & commodity prices in a crawler.
I don’t see this as unbecoming of him, at all, if true.
I suppose you would congratulate your wife’s rapist?
Cry me a river! It’s about time the Lame-stream Media got the dressing down they have deserved for the last several decades. They have absolutely no concept of OBJECTIVE news journalism. If people want opinions, they can watch the opinion programs or read opinion columnists or blogs. When we want to know the facts, we have very few options anymore on where to find them. How many more daily newspapers will go belly up or TV programs sink in the ratings before they realize this??? Go Trump!!!
The pic that heads up the Post article is not exactly pro-Trump (shows him with a big nasty scowl.)
Question (since I don't get the Post, or read it often online):
In many issues of our supposedly moderate-to-conservative local newspaper, AP articles are run which repeat the lie that Trump wants to ban all Muslims from entering the US. I just saw another instance of this a couple days ago.
Does the Post run the same sort of articles, or similar?
According to this article, Zucker got his comeuppance, but for "an off the record" meeting, what are we supposed to believe?
I hope that quote is exact and true that certainly points to that horrid Martha Raddatz.
"... 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.”
HAPPY 2017!
Trump can delete PBS through the budget.
The little bitch was more subservient to Saddam Hussein.

Time-Lies, Boycott Time-Life-Warner-Turner-HBO-CNN. Defund the Beast.
And in the 21st century the US media refused to cover the Afghani rapes of young boys and the official US (Obama) policy of not intervening.
