I doubt that the journalists who actively cover that war have been duped, but most feel some obligation to support the effort or got overridden by their editors. I know that Dexter Filkins covered it in his book The Forever War, so it has been addressed. Mostly, it's been a case of the public refusing to listen, because it was anti-patriotic to kvetch.
