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.

Major-General John A. Drx,
Commanding at New York:
Whereas there has been wickedly and traitorously printed and published this morning in the New York World and New York Journal of Commerce, newspapers printed and published in the city of New York, a false and spurious proclamation purporting to be signed by the President and to be countersigned by the Secretary of State, which publication is of a treasonable nature, designed to give aid and comfort to the enemies of the United States and to the rebels now at war against the Government and their aiders and abettors, you are therefore hereby commanded forthwith to arrest and imprison in any fort or military prison in your command the editors, proprietors, and publishers of the aforesaid newspapers, and all such persons as, after public notice has been given of the falsehood of said publication, print and publish the same with intent to give aid and comfort to the enemy; and you will hold the persons so arrested in close custody until they can be brought to trial before a military commission for their offense. You will also take possession by military force of the printing establishments of the New York World and Journal of Commerce, and hold the same until further orders, and prohibit any further publication therefrom.
A. LINCOLN.

Zippo !!!
Stockholders will be pissed and voting their shares.
One thing evil can not absolutely stand is being called evil
They don’t know how to take it
At least some of them are proven liars if they agreed not to talk about what happened at the meeting...
...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.

Trump needs a tough sonofabitch for press secretary.
Well whatever he said, this is how they “paraphrased” it so we the people (who are not too bright according to them) could understand it.
Even if he was cordial and said he was willing to work with them, if what he said was not exactly what they wanted to hear they would lie. That is what they do.
I disagree. I believe Trump will bypass the media in favor of using social media to get his message out. Kill two birds with one stone. The media needs access to Trump otherwise all they can do is speculate therefore making his point about media bias more poignant. The press is used to traditional republican lap dogs where if I play nice, they’ll like me. When you learn not to give a shiate about what other people think of you, life gets easier.
OMG look at Woofie’s facial expression. Whatever happen it was not good. I notice he was not the only who came out that elevator with that similar expression. I believe Gayle King (Oprah BFF) and there were another one.
He has some excellent candidates for tough, hard nosed press secretary, all women.
Missed it by ‘that’ much!
