Trump had invited a bunch of the media to an off-the-record meeting. A few thought it might be about media access; Trump hasn't held a press conference since I think July (lol remember when Trump criticizing Clinton for not having press conferences was a thing?). Some thought it might be generally about access, Trump doesn't have a protective press pool yet.
Nope, guess it was so he could berate them some more.
“It was like a f---ing firing squad,” one source said of the meeting. "Trump started with [CNN President] 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 Post’s second source said the meeting included 30 to 40 people, and said Trump also took aim at ABC and NBC.
“Trump kept saying, ‘We’re in a room full of liars, the deceitful dishonest media who got it all wrong,'" the source said. "He addressed everyone in the room calling the media dishonest, deceitful liars. Trump didn’t say [NBC reporter] Katy Tur by name, but talked about a female correspondent who got it wrong.

Conway said "I sat right to his left. He did not explode in anger.", doesn't sound like she denied the content though.
