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.

Real women love real men.
This is no time to go wobbly.
WINNING!!!

Fantastic! Stomp on Chris Mathews dick why you’re at it Mr President!
Even during the campaign they did their best to avoid showing the size of Trump’s rallies. At the same time, they used camera angles to make Hillary’s rallies look like there were more people than there really were. It was a subtle omission, but I have no doubt it cost Trump a few million votes.
Breitbart dominates other media outlets in both reach and user engagement. The dinosaur media, aka closet DNC operatives, are behind the times and efuse to acknowledge that their influence over the American people took a huge hit in 2016.
Breittbart. the site, was hugely successful during the 2016 presidential campaign, thanks to social media. On election night, Breitbart’s Facebook page had the fourth-highest number of user interactions on the whole platform, beating CNN, Fox News and the New York Times, according to the New York Times.
There is talk of Breitbart bureaus opening in Paris, Berlin and Cairo, spots where the populist right is on the rise. A bigger newsroom is coming in Washington, the better to cover a president-elect whose candidacy it embraced.
Mainstream news outlets are soul-searching in the wake of being shocked by Donald J. Trump’s election last week. But the team at Breitbart News, the right-wing opinion and news website that some critics have denounced as a hate site, is elated — and eager to expand on a victory that it views as a profound validation of its cause.
“So much of the media mocked us, laughed at us, called us all sorts of names,” Alexander Marlow, the site’s editor in chief, said in an interview on Sunday. “And then for us to be seen as integral to the election of a president, despite all of that hatred, is something that we certainly enjoy, and savor.”
Breitbart not only championed Mr. Trump; its chairman, Stephen K. Bannon, helped run his campaign. On Sunday, Mr. Trump named Mr. Bannon as his chief White House strategist and senior counselor, further closing the distance between Breitbart’s newsroom and the president-elect.
Those who consider Mr. Trump, who has vilified the news media, a threat to the free press view Mr. Bannon’s appointment as more cause for alarm. Critics say Breitbart now has the potential to play an unprecedented role in a modern presidency, as a weaponized media adjunct for the White House.
Liberal media DNC operatives are such babies. They were and continue to be a weaponized adjunct for the corrupt DNC and they are shocked that their liberal motives are being exposed. HA!
I used to have a bumpersticker that said: "I don't believe the liberal media"
It came from Media Research Center...mrc.org.
That’s the Washington Post. The NY Post is a different paper with much different track record,
He said he was going to move to Australia if Trump won. Let him find his Safe Spot there.
You think he was tough, try facing The People. We’d kick your ass around the block. P.S. Get bent.
I have no problem with Trump giving them The People’s Elbow.
I have one of those bumper stickers...time for it to be on my car.
Trump said he would ban all Muslims from entering the US?* That’s what the AP keeps reporting. “All Muslims” who might intend to enter the US is a much bigger group than the refugees.
*He has not. That’s what PO’s me.
As for the change regarding refugees since early on, yes, I agree that’s what happened.
Right. The AP is flat out lying.
If cable or dish actually offered that, I'd consider getting cable or dish.
Let those two black women (Diamond & Silk) handle that press room.
Or someone who will treat them like the children they are. Maybe a good, stern, kindergarten teacher who will make them be silent and wait until their turn is called for a question and then answer them in baby talk.
The leftist press are anti-American to their core. The bulk of broadcast media echo the sentiments of 10-15 percent of the bottomfeeding malcontents in this country.
The demoncrat party and their PR firm, the leftist press, are the biggest national security threat facing the future survival of this country.
