Perhaps since less than 1% of the US population is a Federal employee and get the day off under the Federal name, the media is using the more common name for the state or local holiday.
Odd that the third Monday in February will never fall on February 22, Washington's actual birthday. It will also never fall on February 12, Lincoln's birthday. It's almost as if the date was intentionally chosen to be between the two as a way to honor both.
