US President-elect Donald Trump abruptly canceled a meeting scheduled for Tuesday with The New York Times newspaper that he has frequently criticized, complaining in morning Twitter posts about inaccurate coverage and a "nasty tone." Trump singled out reporting of his campaign by CNN and NBC that he considered to be unfair, the Post said, citing four participants at the meeting. "I canceled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. A spokeswoman for the Times said the newspaper was not aware the meeting was canceled until Trump's tweet, which came at about 6.30am EST (1130 GMT). "In the end, we concluded with them that we would go back to the original plan of a small off the record session and a larger on the record session with reporters and columnists," she said in a statement.
