The above article focused on how to achieve hero status.
Please notice that I didn't talk about how to approach things with the press if the person/company you work for is a villian.
That's because I wouldn't do it, period.
My suggestion if someone comes to you and asks you to spin their wrongdoings so that they look good with the press?

Quit! Immediately.
It's just my opinion, but life's too short, and eternity's too long to live with the knowledge that you participated in a cover up.
No matter how much money they are paying you.
This, of course, begs the question of how villainous a villainous person must be before they become a villain. Put differently - how much drool is too much?
So, is it ok to go AWOL from the national guard? How about to sleep with an intern (what is it with politicians and interns anyway? You would think that they would say "hey, sometime I'm going to want to run for President. Maybe I should keep my zipper in the upright and locked position.")
Sorry, how bad is bad is something that you have to decide.
But if you're asked to cover it up, I'd suggest that a line just got crossed.
Vamanos!
