Nah, the media was completely ineffective in resisting the Viet Nam war.  I would read every day about the body counts of how many Viet Cong had been killed.  The media happily lapped up the military press releases and vomited them on the American people. No, more than anything else, it was the revolt of the young draft age population who faced the reality of war rather than passively reading about it.  The soldiers who fought in Viet Nam for their country were heros.  The young college age students who engaged in massive protests played more of a role than the media in bringing opposition to the war to the forefront.
