The network execs Trump harangued on Monday agreed to meet off-the-record,
a condition that allowed Trump and his team to characterize the meeting
however they liked while journalists were forced to bite their lips and
mumble in response. It was a power-play that drew raves from white
supremacist web sites, where the scream session was seen as an extension of
Trump’s penning up the press for the amusement of those at his rallies.

... after details of Mr. Trump’s hectoring leaked on Monday in The New York
Post, it seemed the meeting was being used as a political prop, especially
after Trump-friendly news outlets trumpeted the session as a
take-no-prisoners move by a brave president-elect.

“Trump Slams Media Elite, Face to Face,” blared the Drudge Report. “Trump
Eats Press,” wrote Breitbart News.
