Title is incorrect and sensational. Sources say the satellite may have failed or may have issues but it's all classified, and we do not know whether the problem (if any) was in the launcher or the satellite itself.

It's also not impossible that the USG wants certain parties to think the satellite failed.

No, the title is correct. One of the sources described that the satellite burned up in the atmosphere. And sure, it could be a smokescreen.
