In that particular aspect I would say they're fulfilling it less well.
I'm not ideologically opposed to fair use, I just think we really need to pinch down on it. If every fair-use image had to run the gauntlet of annual IfD-type polls, with only surly oldtime admins voting :-), the net numbers would probably come out about right.
Ideologically, I'm basically for using every image we can possibly get away with and then some. Fortunately, my ideology is not running the project.
