If they have an interest in misleading people, they certainly will.

Sometimes it's just obvious.

The Iraq WMD stands out as an example of absolute bullshit that was counter to what weapons inspectors were saying at the time.

"Oops" was a completely implausible explanation for the bombing of the Chinese embassy in Belgrade:

"Our maps were out of date".

"How do you limit civilian casualties when hitting military targets in a city?"

"Our maps are live"

AFAIKT lately they've been okay though.
