The podcasters aren’t claiming government misinformation is the worst it’s ever been, they are saying that the dissemination of misinformation on social media over the past week is the worst it’s ever been.

I know you don’t do nuance, but I encourage you to watch the video nevertheless (the host is a former Obama staffer/speechwriter); it’s quite informative.
