It looks like the Tet offensive propaganda barrage from our own MSM was pretty effective from that chart.

Despite a decisive military victory for our side, the event was portrayed as evidence we were being defeated.

It would be like casting the 'Battle of the Bulge' as a defeat because the Axis had advanced the salient.
