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.

These discredited fake news sites like CNN need to be put under by Trump’s FCC. And we need to clean house at NPR/PBS and replace the current personalities there with pro-Americans.

I got an e-mail from the Los Angeles Times today, which included:

Now that the election is history, we are redoubling our efforts to report on the Trump administration and California’s unique role in our nation. We are committed to covering the administration with rigor, accuracy and fairness.

Coincidence?

If there is any truth to this, then this will go down as the second most awesome day of 2016 — after Election Day, of course. LMAO.

And tomorrow is only the end of the second week for President Elect Donald J. Trump.

I have serious WIN Overload...compounded by intense Schadenfreude syndrome.

Why do you folks keep saying 4 years; it should be 8 years, and with Pence as VP it should be 16 years.
If Pence is smart and picks up Sara as a running mate we could be looking at 24 years of FREEDOM.

Not only they got things wrong, but they deliberately and knowingly lied to sink Trump and help Hillary.

And now they are acting surprised that Trump isn’t forgetting it.

A ‘God’ among us. The ‘Sun’ returns. Every destructive Obama policy will be ‘dismantled’, even their memory will be rendered from the American consciousness.

As Trump’s genius and vision begin to take effect, our economy recovers for all and our divisions begin to heal , the ‘scales of delusion’ fall from the eyes of even the left’s most ardent minions.

The destructive mind control media raises the cry of desperation and defeat, and all raise hands and give voice, in triumph and praise, “Trump has Made America, Americanism, and Americans Great and Proud Again”.

Radio, hell. 4K video feed direct from the White House, with Trump telling the nation what he’s doing and why.

We saw the coverage as the campaign unfolded. Those journalists DNC operatives deserved every word of it! There's a new sheriff in town, boys and girls. Get used to it.

Funny thing is, he’s already doing just that! Only 1080P, but we’re just warming up.
