I'll never try to understand how this President's thought process works, but I can't see why anyone would think that it would be a good idea to send the Press Secretary out for his very first presser and making him pretty much yell at the media for reporting something accurate, just because it's something you don't like.  Maybe don't stand on hallowed ground like the CIA Memorial Wall, completely ignoring the significance of the stars visible behind you, lying about how HUGE your inaugural crowd was.
