I think its more than lying. I think the media runs full on disinformation campaigns aimed at the public. Q is a good example of this. It mixed truth with fiction to throw people off that had legitimate concerns. It succeeded in making large groups of them seem crazy, or even goad them to commit crimes to discredit them. Funny how it went away after the election was finalized. If you read detective novels, you will often come across a suspect that knows he is being tracked or followed. So they will deliberately make moves to throw the detective off track. They employ tactics to misdirect, confuse, and use all kinds of subversion to point the finger in the wrong direction. And the often practiced one, is to accuse others of what you just did. So watch for confessions through accusations. If an individual can accomplish this, what makes you think a government doesn't.
