Putting the Press in Its Place

I was going to add this on to the previous post, but then I decided that it deserved its own. What was the story on all the misinformation the White House was spreading yesterday about the identity of the nominee? Was it them just flexing their muscles, showing who gets to set the agenda of what gets covered and what doesn't after more than a week of getting pushed around by the White House press corps? Were they just taunting the liberal media with, "Who's your daddy?" If so, it may feel good to them for a little while, but it's just going to reinforce the traditionally antagonistic relationship the press usually has with the White House that they're only just starting to remember.
