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.

Two months before inauguration with jittery power players on edge just waiting to pull the trigger and The Not Yet President browbeats every "news" outlet on the planet ?
That is not a very rational thing to do from a guy that has been maturely interviewing for cabinet positions.
Remember ... we usually call them the comPOST.
for the record to the bashers....... Fox news was not invited to the ss beating
I think being on the receiving end of their crap made him aware of just how biased and partisan the US Media has become. They made his job of winning the election far harder. In the cases of George HW Bush, John McCain, and Mitt Romney, the bias of the media made their elections impossible.
Let us face the truth. The media flipped all three of those elections.
Childish and petulant?
They’ve got half the country up in arms with their duplicity!
You think THAT was good wait for his White House press conferences!
I’m not buying it until verified bby more trustworthy sources
“{He should have turned off the elevators after the meeting.”
That’s funny.
Wow! I still can’t wrap my head around that....Just WOW!! President Trump! Has a beautiful ring to it doesn’t it?
I hear the Fuji Network in Japan has real journalists who speak fairly decent English. Maybe they could import a few of them.
Not childish nor petulant.
Letting them know he’s not putting up with their crap.
Firing a warning shot into their bow................
Nah, just puppies, color books and chocolates. sarc/off
Poor Chris Matthews!! Hope he got a thrill running up his leg at least!!
Donald, you magnificent bastard!!
Yeah!
Wish I could post a new trump winning poster from my tablet.
We will see the solution at his first official press conference.
I’m so in awe of this guy. No fear whatsoever! This may be the only interview they get with him!
On another thread I posted that he looked “dazed”.
The Post is making this up.
No serious elected official is going to call together a roomful of executives just to complain.
That would be childish and petulant.
I don’t believe it happened.
Come on! Save the filth for DU.
