As to the question of the media, why does the media need to take orders from the government? That's not how it's supposed to work.

"That's not how it works"....nor should it be this way in the normal course of things.

But during an incredibly-dangerous worldwide pandemic, before the widespread availability of a vaccine, tempering the spread of false information about what is going on and what to do/what not to do can be seen as a public health measure. One that should be used sparingly.
