Donald Trumps meeting with the New York Times Tuesday is suddenly back on again after being just as suddenly cancelled.
Before 7 a.m. Trump was on Twitter bashing the failing newspaper (which is not failing), and announcing that he was calling off their meeting because they had attempted to change the terms of the meeting.
Not nice, the president-elect groused.
The Times denied that it had ever changed or attempted to change the ground rules for the meeting, saying that the paper had agreed to a small off-the-record portion of a larger conversation with columnists and reporters, which would be on the record. The Times also said that they only heard about the meetings cancellation from Trumps early-morning angry tweet.
Shortly before 10 a.m. CNNs Brian Stelter reported that Trump press secretary Hope Hicks told him the meeting was back on.
On Monday Trump met off the record yesterday with anchors and representatives from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox News. Reportedly, the president-elect used the meeting to criticize them for their coverage of him. It was like a ******* firing squad, a source told the New York Post.
The Left’s definition of ‘not failing’ is, ‘still writing fictional hit pieces on Trump and conservatives.’
By that metric the NYT is a raging success.
They say the Slimes is not failing. Yes it was. It took Carlos Slim, the worlds single richest man, pumping them with money to yhevtune of 40% of their ownership, to prop them up.
The Slimes was dying before the worlds richest billionaire baled them out to survive.
Trump made the mistake of trusting these pr***s with a verbal agreement.
He better get it in writing, next time.
If there IS a next time.
But wouldn’t you say that Mediaite is more like an inferior leftist version of Breitbart? Should anybody expect them to be unbiased?
Lol. That is so funny.
How did the Times give in?
I can totally see Jeb doing this -
Said no one evah!
