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...

4. So I expect the media to back down now and say "yes massa OH"

The MSM has destroyed their creditability and now they are going to cower and be silenced.

I am even more adamant about watching network news. Only my local undependent channel and free speech tv from now on.

5. Off the record??

[Qutzupalotl]

6. So I guess the only press...

...in the White House Briefing Room these next 4 years is going to be Brietbart and Faux News.

(Overtly examples the propaganda model put forth in Manufacturing Consent and Necessary Illusions.)

9. Don't worry. Once Laura Ingraham is Press Secretary

Every day can be a repeat of the tongue-lashing the Drumpenfuhrer gave to the MSM bigshots today.

Whatever supposed dressing down they got is a joke. They deserve it all

[flamingdem]

How many media meetings were there?

12. Lewis Carroll nailed it:

And only one for birthday presents, you know. There’s glory for you!’

‘I don’t know what you mean by “glory,”’ Alice said.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. ‘Of course you don’t—till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”’

‘But “glory” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument,”’ Alice objected.

‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’

‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master—that’s all.’

11. What did those assholes who helped THE ASSHOLE get elected expect?

Maybe they can tell us how the FBI reopened the email investigation, or about a pending indictment. Doesn't matter if it is all lies

[jimlup]

13. The guy now thinks he is the unchallenged king

and that he can dress down whomever he pleases. Unfortunately, there is an awful truth to it.

[kydo]

14. My one question, ok I got lots of questions, but, why didn't anyone just leave?

orange man had NO right to even be having a meeting like this. Much less off the record. As a private citizen I want transparency from my government. This can not continue! These ain't know board meeting and he is not the CEO of anything. This man is a disgrace to everything.

[LongTomH]

18. Rachel Maddow coined the word "Chickenshittery" in another context.....

.....meaning obvious. I think you can apply it here!!!!!

[ThoughtCriminal]

16. The fact that they agreed to this meeting tells us the have learned nothing

They should have left or given him the "Come to Jesus" meeting of the century.

Oh, but they are so scared of losing "Access". Access to what? Big lies and moron tweets?

[tinrobot]

20. You can't just ignore the man and hope he goes away.

A seasoned investigative journalist would have taken the meeting just to see what was going to be said...

Not that these people are at that journalistic level, but still, there are/were plenty of good reasons to show up. As a journalist, you do have to engage with unsavory characters.

21. Now what are the two magic words?

Thank you. (Rick to Negan)

Similarities all over!

[Greywing]

22. WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS? He is only president-elect and not

dictator-elect. We have freedom of the press in this county. I hope good old-fashioned reporting comes back and they blow his ass up!
