I have heard this stated on many occasions, especially by conserv pundits. But I do not see it. They report some things that could be seen as anti-war, but for the most part they do not give these stories much air time.
Why do I say that? look at the anti-war movement; recently there was a massive national protest, but it got a 30 sec spot in most of the mainstream media. Why? well most media outlets are owned by massive conglomerates. as such they will not push anything that could be contrary to the position of the company. Vietnam was a war that could be reported without interference, because at that time most of the media was news oriented, now they are part of an entertainment division. That is why Britney, Lohan, et al get so much play. The media is in it for the ratings, not the truth.
The truth is out there, but you will not find it on TV!
