Maybe the manifest would have been made public, maybe not. One thing I am certain of is that the any sort of p.r. statements about the crash and the survivors stories would have been controlled/manipulated by the same people forcing the Oceanic 6 to lie about the crash. If the Losties are being forced to lie, don't you think the "official" manifest released to the public would have been tampered with as well?
Who's gonna know that Juliet and Desmond weren't on the plane (for instance), and who's going to make a big stink about it? The big story is simply that people survived at all. (Especially after video released of all the bloated nasty corpses at the bottom of the Sunda Trench!) That's where the focus will be.
