I clicked on the link in the OP and read the CNN article, twice. Twice because I could not find mention of the government in it. Next, clicking on the video to actually hear the words proved fruitless also. The ad played fine, without having a skip-ad option, then nothing. Maybe it was my phone. Maybe it wasn't. The point is that the media can choose not to reinforce misinformation. They did not and they do not. Enforcing misinformation in their headline creates the false equivalency of democrats and government are bad - republicans are innocent. We need to hold their feet to the fire.
