The issue isn't that the tag isn't factually true - the issue is that it intentionally creates confusion between "government funded" and "state sponsored". By adding this tag, it is attempting to make the former appear to be the latter, targeted at the lowest common denominator of right wing voters. It already worked as PP is trying to use the tag as a dog whistle on why "CBC bad".
Any functional reader would understand the difference and it really makes no difference - but functional readers aren't Musk's target audience.
