หมอดูแม่นรายงานเรื่อง Trump halts New York Times meeting, decries ‘dishonest’ media
Donald Trump has cancelled a meeting with the New York Times, a day after berating media chiefs at his headquarters for “unfair” coverage.
Without elaborating, the US president-elect accused the newspaper of changing the terms of the meeting.
He tweeted: “They continue to cover me inaccurately and with a nasty tone!”
Mr Trump has had an antagonistic relationship with the press, railing against liberal bias, while benefiting from blanket TV coverage.

A suicide bomber has killed at least 27 people at a Shia Muslim mosque in the Afghan capital, Kabul.
Many more were wounded in the blast at an annual Shia ceremony at the Baqir ul Olum mosque in the west of the city.
The attacker arrived on foot and blew himself up among worshippers inside.
So-called Islamic State (IS) said that it was behind the blast. It is the latest of several recent attacks on Afghanistan’s Shia community claimed by the Sunni Muslim militant group.
Monday’s bombing took place at 12:30 local time (08:00 GMT) during a service to commemorate the death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson and a Shia martyr.

หมอดูแม่นรายงานเรื่อง Russian Economy Minister Ulyukayev charged with $2m bribe
Russia’s Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev has been accused of taking a bribe to endorse a state takeover.
Russia’s main anti-corruption body, the Investigative Committee (SK), said he received a payment of $2m (£1.6m).
Mr Ulyukayev is the highest-ranking Russian official held since the 1991 coup attempt in what was then the USSR.
The SK said he had “threatened” to create obstacles for Rosneft’s operations when it took a 50% stake in another state oil company, Bashneft.
The minister pleaded not guilty to the bribe charge and saw his arrest as “an act of provocation against a state official”, his lawyer said.
According to SK spokeswoman Svetlana Petrenko, “Ulyukayev was caught red-handed”, receiving a $2m bribe on 14 November for giving a favourable assessment of the Rosneft deal. Investigators asked the court to place him under house arrest, Interfax reported.
Mr Ulyukayev’s deputy Yevgeny Yelin was appointed later on Tuesday as acting economy minister.
หมอดูแม่นรายงานเรื่อง New Zealand earthquake: Tsunami follows powerful tremor
A tsunami has hit after an earthquake struck New Zealand’s South Island.
The US Geological Survey said the magnitude-7.8 quake hit just after midnight (11:02 GMT on Sunday), some 95km (59 miles) from Christchurch.
The tsunami arrived in the north-eastern coast about two hours later. Officials said the first waves may not be the largest, with tsunami activity possible for several hours.
Residents were warned to head inland or for higher ground along the coast.
Terrifying
A gauge at Kaikoura, 181 km (112 miles) north of Christchurch, measured a wave of 2.5m (8ft 2ins), according to Weatherwatch.co.nz.
Smaller waves are said to be arriving in Wellington and other areas, the website said.
But the ministry of civil defence has said the highest waves, which could be as tall as 5m are expected between Malborough, the north-eastern tip of the South Island, and Banks Peninsula, just south of Christchurch.
