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.

The White House press corp will smarten up after a good reaming or two.
she was so busted
The reverse leg-tingles were everywhere, I’m sure.
The media is just used to liberal circle jerks: “No, YOU’RE the best!” “No, YOU’RE the best!” “I love you more!” “NO, I love YOU more!”
That’s what makes horse races. I think it was perfect. He trolled them once again and eventually it will sink in that if they don’t make an effort to report honestly they are going to get egg on their faces publicly.
How else do you get through to people that have sunk as low as the press? You sound like a liberal parent who “fixes” everything with a good talk, and nothing changes. Sometimes the woodshed is called for.
I bet some a**holes were puckering in unison around the board table.
LOL! The imagery of that machine boring through the room with Trump as the operator is too funny!
The part I like is that Trump said it to their face, not behind their back, to their face!!! I hope George Snuffleupagus found his safe spot.
Well if they didn’t like the message, they could have always walked out. No one was tied to their chair.
Payback is a beautiful thing to watch.
An honest one, with an appreciation of irony.
“These media jackals accused him of rape and being KKK.”
And that is for starters. The few around here that are bashing Trump for his treatment of the press need to wake up to see who has been complicit with the Dems in ruining this country over the past 50 years.
Freedom of the press is not synonymous with abuse by the press. When they undermine national security and foment the type of violence that gets LEO all over America killed, it is time to pull rank on their sorry asses.
They're too arrogant for that... they probably thought they were being unfairly bullied and will just double their resolve to try and take Trump down any way they can.
President Trump should have two press rooms in the WH, one for real journalists and one for all these liberal liars. A clown can address the liars while they get zero access to the Trump administration.
Trump is settling ALL family business today like Michael did in the Godfather.....beautiful.
So if this was off the record why are they talking about it? Just another example of how dishonest they are.
[There has GOT to be a video of this!!!! ]
Oh, there is and my guess is he had them all raise their hands to agree that this ‘off the record’ and Trump will hang onto it until they break that agreement.
The Media should be banned from entering the White House because of National Security reasons. Trump could provide an older mobile home at some trailer park about 30 miles outside of DC for news briefings. The White House Press Secretary could meet with them over an internet connection to a large screen located in the media trailer.
That warm tingle was the feeling of pee running down their pants leg.
