100% man. The Maine is the oldest large scale example of this kind of behavior displayed by the US press that I know of and also very clear example because Spain had nothing to gain and everything to loose from a war, and that's exactly how it went down with the US gaining the Philippines and Cuba fairly effortlessly IIRC but I'm sure history is littered with this wag the dog shit.

Hell I'm pretty sure they were trying again with that (((Iranian))) on Japanese tanker attack.

Oh absolutely. Ships are an ideal vector for this kind of propaganda event because they're mobile, they can end up in all kinds of places with very few witnesses and plausible enemy action. I think for 9/11 they realised they had such widespread control of the press that they just didn't need to worry about witnesses anymore. They could gaslight anyone they need to into submission.
