If all we get from the WH press corps is pap spoon-fed to them from the administration spinners, then no. This is more dangerous than if they were just incompetent. Being the willing broadcasters of White House propaganda is not their job.

Cozying up to administration officials has it's perks in DC. Invites to events and dinners ring up all sorts of alarms regarding conflict of interest. The WaPo seems to have gone down this path lately, I no longer trust much aside from the obits and the funny pages at this point.
