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 fing 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, Were 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 didnt 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.

Amen. Crush’em.
BTTT.
At least ISIS doesn’t lie to your face...............
For 18 months Trump called them a bunch of liars. Now it’s in their faces. :)
Probably too stupid to change though.
President Trump. It sounds so good.
They deserved a lecture and dressing down. They earned it! Lucky they were let off lightly with a verbal warning!
Truman did it via a letter, re the critiques of his daughter's singing.
Re these selfimportant, proudly biased POS....they need to face the facts and keep their collective mouths shut re what was said to them.
It's long past time that a GOPer took them on, in no uncertain way !
Amazing if true. This is heaven! Now that Mr. Trump is going to be the most powerful man in the world, the criticism means something.
It is well known, and has been said before a million times that the media is dishonest, but now there is someone with ultimate power who is calling them out to their faces.
It reminds me of his surprise press invitation to the room with some of the Clinton sex victims at the table. Who else would have the guts to do this but Donald.
He is following through with all that he has complained about, and I, for one, am standing and applauding. This is a leader.
Did they expect milk and cookies?
Good for him. I would have told the bastards that I was going to use the entire force of the Federal government to hammer the liberal media into paste until they fired half their liberal employees and replaced them with conservatives.
The media is under one party control, and this is a very grave threat to the interests of the nation. It needs to be repaired by the forced inclusion of people outside the left wing social bubble.
Honest? Sure.
But not this childish and petulant.
I don’t it. I think the NY Post is making this up.
Well, I can imagine there are some Federal Employees that know they better start doing their job, or they too are going to hear YOU’RE FIRED......
Rip MSM to shreds. Look DT could have each pull their pants down and kiss each azz..they will still do all they can full time to destroy him. So screw em I would even ban CNN FROM THE WH press corps; they aren’t press anyway.
Leave the media whores alone!!!!!
Screw the umbrella .............
Honest? Sure.
But not this childish and petulant.
I dont it. I think the NY Post is making this up.
I’m a bit skeptical myself. Story has very little detail. And what little it does have sounds exactly like the kind of tripe the MSM would fabricate.
