Like the politicians they cover, media organizations are flawed, sometimes frustratingly so. But they are aware of the benefits they provide -- and the damage they inflict. And, in the wake of the Newsweek fiasco, they seem determined to increase the benefits and reduce the damage. As the crow flies, the distance between solid journalism and sloppy journalism is staggering -- a chasm the Bush administration is happy to point out. Enter Scott McClellan the White House Spin Doctor. Who better to lecture the media on truth, on sound reporting practices? After all, as White House press secretary, he deals with the truth every day; he may not always convey the truth, but he deals with it.
