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.

“I sat here today, crocheting and watching the Trump Tower cam and watched them walk in, and I can tell you when they walked out into the lobby, it looked just like Nov. 8th when Trump was called for POTUS...
I am still laughing...whatever he said, whatever he did was the best thing he could have done, and then to come out with the 100 days you tube video right after couldn’t have worked out better if it had been planned...
“
HL, i love the visual - thanks for the report. Almost makes me want to find a video and watch the whole thing.
Journalism has become the tool of deception, the manipulation of the public opinion instrument, and the Stalinist way to steal money and power. It worked for Joe, but failed the Clinton Crime Family. These people are part and parcel to the crime rings. President Trump knows it, and we know it. The old media is the enemy.
It's also what they bury.
Click Bait according to Kellyanne Conway on Morning Joe
In the mean time, it’s really incumbent upon us to promote cord cutting.
There’s nothing like the free market to punish stupidity.

You can bet the new WHite house Press Corps will have stringent rules about reporting facts. No more made up news. Accuse anybody of being a racist, you had better have the facts. If not, out you go, no more press junkets for you at the WHite House.
About time. The American people need to be informed, not propagandized. Trump laid the wood to them. This is their forst warning, they won;t get access if they do not report truth.There will not be many more warnings either.
The death of the propaganda loving MSM is at hand.
You kind of have a point on this, Ben, but Trump didn’t do this because they were opposed to him, he did it because they were LYING about him and NOT BEING PROFESSIONAL journalists. One might say the media were the petulant and childish ones it in the spin, manipulation and deceit throughout their coverage.
And maybe it wouldn’t be “presidential” for President Trump to do this, but I think it totally appropriate for the President-elect to sit the unruly skunks down and set stage and set the ground rules for his future administration, since they are flailing around so with how to do their jobs with this new type of politician.
Agreed, but the point is that the AP (and many others) are flat out lying in print / on air as to what Trump’s stated position is. Catching them on this one is a slam dunk.
The dishonest press will show this rally picture so many times that it will get into people's short memory minds as her typical rally. It is, however, much easier to take their attempts-to-deceive after Trump's win.
He’s basically putting the ‘press’ on notice that he will call them out when they start their partisan crap and will not hesitate to use names.
They don’t know how to react. They’ve never had a president that actually fought back in their lifetimes; Harry Truman didn’t take any crap from the press either.
To them, a president should cringe at every keystroke on their laptops, not hold them up to public ridicule. They are going to have to actually start being real journalists.
There is no law requiring the White House to coddle these pampered puppies like a old lady does her Chihuahua. They can be kicked off the property and wait outside the gates like everyone else. They can book their own flights on whatever airline they choose and take their chances just like real people do. No more free food, snacks, shelter or warm offices inside the Peoples’ House. Just give them a porta-potty in the back and a awning over the sidewalk for them to craft their propaganda and create their evil..................
LOL!!!
So far he is being very good to Fox News . . . I wonder if he will leave the company with any talent once his administration is assembled.
I saw a picture of O.J.’s slain wife Nicole yesterday and was struck by how much she looked like Megyn Kelly.
What is hilarious about this is that they were sworn to privacy and secrecy, and the first thing they do is squeal like stuck hogs.
Not trying to directly force content, just trying to force equality in hiring at the networks. Currently network employees are probably 95% Liberal, while the nation at large is at least 40% conservative. Liberals should at most hold less than 40% of all jobs in the network corporations.
My argument is that Liberal people cannot be "balanced" in their coverage because their world view precludes them from even understanding the positions of the other side. Only members of the other side can present their ideas properly.
Some things we should be pushing:
-Cable freedom: allowing folks to pay only for the channels they want to subscribe to
- Using antitrust laws to break up the media conglomerates.
- Defund PBS.
- Make FCC TV and radio licenses for a limited time and resell them or lottery them off.
- Allow digital posting of legal notices instead of requiring physical publication. Sort of like how they do with tenders.
I agree with all of this, except perhaps that last one. I'm not sure about that one.
But yes, we have to do whatever is possible to break up Liberal control of the media system. The fate of the nation hangs on this. For too long has our news and culture been steered by left wing forces and it has brought us to a very bad point in the history of the nation.
This is exactly right. They use their control of the cameras and the transmitters in efforts to deliberately affect the vote. This should not be tolerated. They are manipulating elections with these tactics, and they need to get burned for doing it.
More importantly, they need to be precluded from doing such things.
The Federal government and most states advertise bids on a website. Its actually better than publishing them in a newspaper as they’re searchable databases.
The print media is being subsidized by the requirement to publish legal notices in a newspaper. That subsidy should be ended. Put the information on a public, searchable database instead.
Churchill called it a "Terminological Inexactitude"
We are able to quantify much of the biased coverage, I hope he showed them some of the lopsided coverage stats, like 90% pro-Hillary vs 10% pro Trump etc.
These people are disgusting, I cringe when I watch the leftist activists on CBS This Morning and their constant bias and anti-Trump stories.
Why do you folks keep saying 4 years; it should be 8 years, and with Pence as VP it should be 16 years.
If Pence is smart and picks up Sara as a running mate we could be looking at 24 years of FREEDOM.

I agree with your post, but I think you’ve sent it to me by mistake because I don’t recall saying “4 years” in previous posts.
IF Trump recorded/videoed this meeting, put it on a DVD & SOLD it publicly- He could probably build the wall with the profits!!!
They couldn’t replenish the supply fast enough.
Even if only 1/2 of the 61 million who voted for trump bought one or two, it would be a big down payment on building the wall......
