CorsiHockeyLeague;6095048]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
The crowd size thing was nothing more than an amusing aside early in the day. It only blew up after Spicer's ridiculous press conference where he lied through his teeth about some of the facts. The Trump team brought this ridicule on themselves.

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.
Looking at the records and backgrounds of Trump's nominees, there are countless reasons for why some of these people should not be confirmed, including questionable conflicts of interest (Tillerson), or just being completely unqualified for the position (Ben Carson). If the press is doing their job properly, you're damn right they're going to focus on that.
