That reads not only as an indictment of the press for their role, but as an exoneration of Libby. It shifts blame away from Libby to the press.

I guess I read it differently. It certainly shifts the focus away from Libby to the press, and in a context in which others are complaining about commutation the effect is as you describe. But I've read Kinsley enough to think that he was being careful not to express an opinion exonerating Libby.
