It makes sense really: Whether you approve of the Obama White House or not, it is undeniable that certain rather unfair or conflated memes reported recently have really screwed them up... death panels, promoting the Olympics, the President's address to school children, et cetera.
The old way White House of doing things was: (1) Give your message to the media; and (2) if they get your message wrong, give them the same message again. The new way will be: (1) Give your message to the media; and (2) if they get it wrong, argue with the media about how they got it wrong.
It's perfectly understandable. If the White House manages to keep the debate focused on the actual issues instead of petty nitpicking or even misleading hyperbole designed solely to derail the Democrats' plans, then I support it... not because I support everything The White House proposes, but because I support good information over chicanery, honest debate over dissembling, and knowledge over ignorance.
