Sorry, could you clarify your comment? Who has failed at their job, and who is making excuses and attempting to get press?

>SpaceX says it is working to obtain a full license for its cameras to prevent having to shorten future launch webcasts.
SpaceX told NOAA that they were recording, NOAA didnt know, they are short staffed. This let SpaceX complain about 'not being able to record'.
Knowing that SpaceX is Elon's PR company for Tesla, its just another way for him to get in the news without doing anything.
I question if they were waiting on 'using this' for a bad mission. One where they didnt want to show the video, but still get press points.
SpaceX has always been a very heavily marketed company. You should be skeptical whenever they get headlines.

I don't understand how SpaceX deserves any more skepticism than any other company's headlines at this point.
These are excuses and attempts to get press. Nothing more.
