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.

He can legally ban them from coming in. Is his problem that the Left would have a fit? Don’t know. I think he is going to keep us safe as far as that is possible, but once they are here and disappear into the country somehow, that’s going to be harder to do. I don’t think he is telling us everything.
Having Pompeo in charge of intelligence is going to be a tremendous advantage/asset.
No more GWB-like making nice with the people who stick knives in your back when its turned ....
... I’m gonna enjoy it ... the MSM RICHLY DESERVE all the beatings they’re gonna get ... they are not used to dealing with someone who fights back any more than the Clinton’s were ...
Why give them any briefings at all? Ask some ordinary citizens to stop by the Oval Office with a pool reporter filming. Cut the press briefings back to one every week for 15 minutes.
One person you left out was Martha Raddatz who was called out for crying on election night.
See my tagline
Thank you for expressing what I as a newbie was hesitant to say to a Freeper vetean.
Trump gave voice to many Americans and to what many Americans have felt for years. It was great to see him circumvent the press and release a two-minute update to the American people on FaceBook shortly after that.
Couldn’t leave this thread at 666 so here’s 667!
Whew! I finished it.
Not surprised but delighted to think Trump put 30-40 of those weasels in their place.
I want to hear the audio.
Wow! What great news to wake up to! This election proves that the American people are not buying the liberal medium crap anymore! How refreshing to have a president (elect) who won’t pussy foot around!
I winder how he walks so well considering his balls are the size of Mack trucks.
I love this shiite. Beat them like a red headed step child
I agree. Same with using the names Hitlery, Killery, Obongo, Obummer, etc.
And using "barf alert" in the title is just another way of saying "trigger warning."
If there were ever a gaggle so deserving of a beatdown it was the media.
This is war. The MSM has been in non stop trash mode since he got elected and have proven they have learned nothing. Tires of our guys laying down.

Yes. No milk and cookies.. Wolf Blitzer got no Snickerdoodle cookie. That is why he looked unhappy while leaving Trump Tower.
No FNC? Megyn was invited, but she would have had to postpone her Botox appointment. And Shep couldn’t find a babysitter for his Pomeranians, Bill & Hill.
Sounds like Frank Costanza... the airing of grievances.. “I got a lot of problems with you people”...
I love it! What a great way to start the morning!
