Do you have mixed feelings about this, from the POTUS?

QuoteA Trump tweet:  I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice

Perhaps a new meeting will be set up with the @nytimes. In the meantime they continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone!

QuoteTrump is heading over to the Times' headquarters now, press secretary Hope Hicks told CNNMoney around 9:45 a.m.

A portion of the meeting will be an on-the-record interview, as the newspaper originally wanted.

"Mr. Trump's staff has told us that the President Elect's meeting with The Times is on again," Eileen Murphy, head of communications for the Times, said in a statement. "He will meet with our publisher off-the-record and that session will be followed by an on-the-record meeting with our journalists and editorial columnists."
.....
WOW!!! what a difference 3hrs makes!  He couldn't just "lay down the law" like Ronald Reagan (if you remember Jimmy Carter's ruckus with MSM interviews - compared to the classroom, 'raise your hand with a question', Reagan interviews).

So.... if I get this right, the NYT wanted an on-the-record interview, Trump pulled the plug - then relented, and rolled over, giving them what they wanted...?  HUH? 

Is the POTUS-elect showing signs of a Paper Tiger?  -or- he's just a media hound, sucking all the oxygen away from Obama...
signalling Obama is irrelevant to the news cycle - expect Barak Obama to start throwing temper tantrums.  "Where's all that fawning press?  I had them eating out of my hand!  I'm STILL POTUS!  Arrrgh!"

The NYT should be careful what they wished for.

They're not exactly geniuses over there.
