The press share the blame, but the administration hasn't been effective at countering and is just now starting to get active.

Countering the press lies re. the war is a full time job. Again, the administration shouldn't have to do the job of the press. Read the DoD PRESS briefings - the DoD officials talking directly to the press. Members of this administration have been repeating themselves for months now. The press isn't listening (I'm being kind). The administration certainly shouldn't have to spend precious time defending themselves from the daily false accusations.
