Yes. Exactly.

The model to think of is the Tet Offensive in 1968. It was widely reported as costly military defeat for the US and it destroyed remaining support for the war in Vietnam.

In fact, as is now widely acknowledged, it was a costly military defeat for the North Vietnamese. Had it been properly reported, the results of the war might have been quite different.
