Apparently truth is whatever the media says it is, even if you know otherwise. Patrick Healy last week:

Transcribing on the bus in Florida, and again on the plane ride to  Tampa, I heard "foreign leaders" rather than "more leaders." Listening  to the audio recorder now, in the quiet of my house, I hear "more  leaders" and I am certian that "more leaders" is what Senator Kerry  said. I am very sorry for this screw-up, and please feel free to hold me  accountable to your editors and higher-ups.

Healy today:

Yet by the time Kerry flew to Idaho Wednesday, he had inflicted more bruises on his own candidacy than his Democratic rivals had during the months-long primary season. Republicans demanded that he back up his statements that overseas government leaders wanted him to beat Bush,...

Not "alleged statements", or "falsely attributed statements" but "his statements." Again we see cover-your-journalistic-ass sleight of hand at work, wherein the press substitutes a (longer!) paraphrase ("overseas government leaders") for the original misquotation ("foreign leaders"), thereby burying the falsehood while preserving its effect.

Apparently when Healy says "hold me accountable," he means it in the Republican sense of "not at all."
