Doesn't quite work that way unfortunately. Spokespeople don't really care when the "substantive facts are up against [them]". Fundamentally, they're not the target of the reporting, especially at big orgs/agencies. But just like HR -- their job is to protect the entity over all else. And they're quite good at it, despite what might initially come off as desperate.
