Just as there are two sides to every story, history may be said to be 're-written.' So, while understandable given the venue, 'dishonest' can be a bit simplistic. It is not uncommon, however, for there to be outright lies, and attempts to color history run the gamut of every descending form of lie; prevarication, false innuendo, bad hyperbole, ...

Further to these points on rewriting history, it takes place by omissions and shifts of emphasis in the secondary accounts, rather than by direct alteration of significant texts. Certainly the latter can be uncovered. A researcher has needs to examine the significant texts before accepting any historical writings that seem prejudicial.
