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.

This is so sweet. And no, I’m not getting tired of winning.
Ya gotta love it when a plan comes together.
PLEASE BE TRUE!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!
(Those losers don’t even deserve that candid feedback counseling from the Man. They deserve to go on being losers! That was a gift!)
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.
I wondered why Fox wasn’t invited. I believe this story.
Hit'em again!
I got to watch that live ... sitting in DAR Constitution Hall as part of the studio audience.
Or Alice Cooper’s “Disco Bloodbath Boogie Fever”.
:D
The day just got a little brighter.
I love this guy. Absolutely made my day, probably the best news I’ve heard since he won.
That’s my president.
Trump took these clowns to the woodshed. I am suddenly filled with optimism for our country.
Trunp is a the Patton of politics. He assaults the enemy no matter where they are. lol
Your probably the one I am thinking about. I tried to find photos but couldn’t find them.
Fox News people were there.
“The hour-long powwow included top execs from network and cable news channels. Among the attendees were NBC’s Deborah Turness, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd, ABC’s James Goldston, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir and Martha Raddatz, CBS’ Norah O’Donnell John Dickerson, Charlie Rose, Christopher Isham and Gayle King, Fox News’ Bill Shine, Jack Abernethy, Jay Wallace, Suzanne Scott, MSNBC’s Phil Griffin and CNN’s Jeff Zucker and Erin Burnett.”
oh, to have been a fly on the wall. The weaklings probably needed to head to the nearest bathroom for a change of undies.
“I wondered why Fox wasn’t invited.”
When Kellyanne came to speak to the press pool, she definitely said that Fox WAS there.
