Media differences

The difference between the media's portrayal of the Vietnam war compared to the war on terror is the words they use to describe the events and our troops. In the war on terror the media makes our country feel sorry for the soldiers and to give them support in their war on the evil terrorist that want to kill us all. In the Vietnam war they showed the bombing of innocent people by our troops and gave the country a negative connotation about the US military, which lead to the rise of anti war hippies. The media is how we receive information whether it be lies or truth, it is all we have. So how the media chooses to portray an event or people persuades US citizens to think the same.
