President-Elect Donald Trump canceled his meeting with the New York Times Tuesday, calling the newspaper "not nice" for trying to make last minute changes to the "terms and conditions" of the meeting in a series of early morning tweets.
Shortly after the first tweet, Trump sent out another saying that the paper continues to "cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone!" However, he did say that it was possible that a new meeting could be scheduled.
He continued his early-morning rant making sure to note that complaints against the "failing" newspaper are at a 15-year high.
According to the Times, Trump was going to be meeting with editors and reporters ahead of his Thanksgiving trip to Florida. There was supposed to be a "small, off the record meeting first, followed by an on the record session with Times reporters and editorial columnists," the newspaper said in a statement, according to CNN.
The meeting was scheduled a day after Trump met a number of top TV news execs and anchors, including representatives from CNN, ABC News, NBC News, CBS News, MSNBC and Fox News.
It was reported that the meeting turned into a dressing-down of the media, where the president-elect reportedly complained about the media coverage. However, according to anonymous sources cited by CNN, the media did make some progress with Trump regarding media access to his administration.
Trump also ranted at the New York Times last week when he accused the newspaper of "very poor and highly inaccurate coverage of the "Trump phenomena"". Following Trump's outburst, the newspaper announced it had received 41,000 additional paid subscriptions across its print and digital platforms.
