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...

(21,155 posts)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.

Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. Of course you donttill I tell you. I meant theres a nice knock-down argument for you!
But glory doesnt 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 meanneither 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 masterthats all.

(2,679 posts)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.

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

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.
