Why attack an alleged overstatement with an overstatement?

Given that most of the press conference, the actual President himself had an obvious and clear agenda (to talk about how great he is and refuse to answer anything he deemed "unfair"), I don't have much issue with journalists asking pointed questions relating to the agenda of keeping their respective reader/viewer demographics safe in a very volatile political climate.
With this President, if you don't ask pointed questions, he meanders all over the place. Even if you
do ask pointed questions, the answers usually come back to Electoral College or Fake News, because Republicans in general, and especially Trump, are completely incapable of answering a damn question. (This was on display pretty tremendously during the Sanders/Cruz debate on healthcare. Cruz did the same meandering talk around a question without ever offering a response that Trump does, only his was full of "I've talked to voters in [random place] who are really concerned about the cost of their healthcare..." Also on display when Chaffetz had his town hall last week and never actually answered questions, just rambled about how he knew people who had cancer and how his wife works with cancer survivors. Republicans really good at "talking" without actually saying anything.)
