Executives and anchors from the country's five biggest television networks are set to meet with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower on Monday afternoon.

..........................

The substance of the meeting is intended to be off the record, meaning the participants will not divulge what is said. President Obama and other government officials occasionally hold similar off the record sessions with reporters, anchors and other media bigwigs.

..........................

The meeting will involve Trump, Conway and representatives from ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, and Fox News. (NBC's cable news channel MSNBC is included in the NBC invitation, Conway noted.)

..............................

Another source said ABC News president James Goldston and anchors George Stephanopoulos, David Muir, and Martha Raddatz are expected to attend. ................................................................................................................

2. oh boy this not good

at all NO DISSENT ALLOWED: scared:

Stop watching the media go to other news outlets

[guillaumeb]

3. Laying out the guidelines for "acceptable" coverage?

And the penalties for non-compliance?

The corporate media is all too willing to be conned.
The Vietnam War,
The Iraq War,
The Israel-Palestine War,
and on and on.......it is amazing how many times the corporate media has allowed itself to be conned.

4. Top secret media control

Screw this. I hope they all spill the beans. Trump is already completely out of control.

Hey asshole, YOU work for US. You are not a king.

[mainstreetonce]

6. They better not cave.

No censorship!

[DemoTex]

New Berchtesgaden, NY?

Donald Trump has already revealed his governing style

30. Saddam had that chair first. After he was gone, it went to Muammar. He bit the dust,

and Trump just had to have it. It's the emperor's throne. Tacky and tasteless, like he is.

[JudyM]

19. Versailles.

27. love it! nt

[steve2470]

28. just paint this gold and put on top of trump tower and there ya go!

[Pathwalker]

9. Determining payola levels?

The price of ass kissing levels?

[C Moon]

10. I don't watch network news, anyway. I wish most in the U.S. would ignore their BS.

[katmondoo]

14. It is getting there, fewer and fewer people watching cable news

I am one

[monmouth4]

11. Networks need to know how to better serve him, I'm sure..n/t

[Sunlei]

12. trump is afraid of live pressers, this is a problem with major media & the WH press who stays & trav

and travel with president every place he goes.

[angrychair]

17. It's not like they could kiss his ass more

Than they do now.

Even HuffPost has caved. Before the election, they used to end every article about Trump with this:

Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar,rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.

Now they do not....why? He is still the very same person but they caved after the election.

[Blue Idaho]

18. I'm sure Trump will be handing out plenty of "walking around" money

Just a little token of his appreciation for all their help getting him elected and a reminder about the rules for covering the Fascist Donald Trump while in office...

21. ironic BS that all those reporters cannot report on the meeting

They should report b/c "it's my job and I was ordered to do it." Turn Hitler supporters' responses at Nuremberg inside out.

[mainstreetonce]

22. No representation from MSNBC?

Send in Lawrence O'Donnell

[wordpix]

25. Rachel, Chris Hayes, Tweety

none invited.

It would be justice if "a source" reported to another source.

[LuckyLib]

31. I hope just ONE of these individuals speaks truth to power in the meeting. Just one.

I'd also like one, when everyone is seated, to stand up and say, "I refuse to participate in such blatant disregard for openness and fairness." Then walk out. Wouldn't it be wonderful if they all did?

[Paladin]

23. As if the networks haven't done Trump historical levels of favors, already. (nt)

[Yonnie3]

24. Oh to be a fly on the wall in that meeting!

I would love to hear what went on in that meeting. I am hoping there will be big time leaks.

[-Steph-]

26. Probably the same ones Megyn Kelly says were giving him the questions ahead of time during the

whole election cycle.

[nolabels]

29. It's a big club and you ain't in it.

If money could solve the problems, all the problems should have been gone by now. It' isn't money they need, it's power over you to believe the bilge their trying sell. Wake up to fact that solving the issues we see in front of us will require a new way of thinking. That's the only way we get anywhere, that's how we got here, and that's how we are going to get to the next place.
