<<"Insurgents," in most historical uses, has referred to groups trying to upset an illegitimate or semi-legitimate regime.>>

I've been through five dictionary definitions so far and haven't yet come across one that had that connotation. They either mention that the government is legit or don't specify.

I don't think the media can be faulted for using the dictionary definition. Much ado about nothing once again.
