That wasn't his point, if you listened to it. His issue was that they have the inauguration, and rather than reporting about the speech, the primary focus was on how the crowd size wasn't that big, and that this is a trend - e.g. he nominates someone, and rather than talking about their record and accomplishments, the coverage focuses on why they shouldn't be confirmed. That's what he was calling demoralizing. Which, I agree, is basically just whining about coverage you don't like, but that was in fact his point.
If we're going to get up in arms about misleading or false information being propagated from the White House - which of course we absolutely should - the flip side of that is to at least accurately characterize what the guy says when reporting on it, is all I'm saying.
