In most bureaucracies, such things could probably occur, but the Secret Service aren't a regular government bureaucracy, they are charged with protecting the president, and are supposed to be the elite of the elite. This kind of thing shouldn't happen with the them.
I've wondered exactly what motivation the MSM had for bringing this to light, I think you hit on it.

Scandal is scandal and it sells ads - those SS agents are supposed to be nameless, featureless, omniscient, invisible guardians of the most powerful man in the most powerful country in the world.

Now look at how the actions of a few, or one of them has tarnished the image of their organization and the image of our leadership to the Columbians and anyone else who pays attention to the drivel that oozes from the mouths of the MSM talking heads.

Their mistakes would have been dealt with (I'm sure) within their department. With the media coverage their mistakes will now be dealt with by a much larger set of people.
