Trump meets TV executives, journos, calls them deceitful liars

TIL Desk/World/Washington-US President-elect Donald Trump has lashed out at top electronic media executives and journalists, terming them “dishonest” and “deceitful liars” after he invited them for a private meeting of minds. “Instead of striking a harmonious tone to build rapport following the election, Trump was combative,” The Washington Post quoted participants as saying.

“In a calm and deliberate voice, he told the group sitting around a conference table that they had failed to provide their viewers with fair and accurate coverage, and told them they failed to understand him or his appeal to millions of Americans,” The Washington Post reported.

According to the daily, 70-year-old Trump repeatedly used the words “unfair” and “dishonest” to describe the coverage during yesterday’s meeting in New York with television journalists and executives. Prominent among news anchors were ABC News anchors George Stephanopoulos and David Muir; CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Erin Burnett; ABC correspondent Martha Raddatz.
