This is the best I have found reported thus far. I will continue to search for more reliable sources. I have followed New Century Times for sometime and their reporting seems to be honorable and reports the facts!
The NY Post stated:
The hour-long session included top execs from network and cable news channels. Among the attendees were NBCs Deborah Turness, Lester Holt and Chuck Todd, ABCs James Goldston, George Stephanopoulos, David Muir and Martha Raddatz,
Also, CBS Norah ODonnell John Dickerson, Charlie Rose, Christopher Isham and King, Fox News Bill Shine, Jack Abernethy, Jay Wallace, Suzanne Scott, MSNBCs Phil Griffin and CNNs Jeff Zucker and Erin Burnett.
According to one source who confided in the NY Post:
It was like a fing firing squad Trump started with [CNN chief] Jeff Zucker and said I hate your network, everyone at CNN is a liar and you should be ashamed.
Adding:
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.
It was basically Trump throwing a hissy fit and talking down to everyone in the media to tell them how very awful they are to him. Even though they were pretty soft on him throughout the course of his campaign, often given him an open forum and hours of free airtime to tout his craziness.

(14,317 posts)I thought the media were humoring Trump during the campaign, letting his rants play out for ratings. And yes, they probably helped him win. But if all they have to fear is him dressing them down and it's already happened why would they ever give him the benefit of the doubt again?

(520 posts)For the life of me, I can't figure CNN. They put Corey Lewandowski on their network, while he was getting paid by the CNN network and the Trump Campaign.
If I was CEO of CNN, me and the fat orange bastard would of went at it.
I would make it my personal mission to destroy him.

Generic Brad
(14,275 posts)When I read that word I knew he was the source of the leak it was him puffing his chest for his brownshirts and trying to make the rest of us fear him as a tough guy. If he really did threaten them and made such an impression, then no one would have reported what happened. So that means he was completely ineffective with his threats or the reports of what happen at the meeting are total bullshit.
My vote is for total bullshit.

(1,730 posts)idiot, surrounded by Neo Nazis, White Nationalists, and amoral business interests. The Donald is just all atwitter. Even Miss Kellyanne's patent plastic smile disappeared for brief moments today, revealing the snarling werewolf that she really is. They're nervous, as the future of their administration teeters on the precipice of disaster.
Priceless.
Lucinda
(31,170 posts)everything appears, on the surface, to be going their way...
WestSeattle2
(1,730 posts)They're losing the impression battle. It's hard to overcome first impressions. That's why Trump gets so unhinged about silly SNL skts, and Pence being "dissed" in public. Kellyanne Conway is obviously stressed to the breaking point as well. She knows what's at stake at this stage of the administration.

No one really expects it will get THAT bad. I mean, really--this is AMERICA, after all.
But of course, no one expected that in Germany, either, people always assumed cooler heads would prevail, and yet, they didn't--and the way he's talking to idiots who are advocating military purges (like Turkey) and other excesses, this could go pear shaped without warning. He's a blowhard, but all it might take is someone overthrowing him to toss our entire system into chaos.

There are plenty of places where I can get my news. BBC, NYTimes, PBS. I don't need a bunch over overpaid idiots telling me how to think.
I will NEVER patronize those poor excuse for a "news services again. I don't need it for the aggravation, and I sure don't need it for the distortions and pure BS.
