I get what your saying but i'd like to add that there were similar issues with the Clinton administration, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iran, Vietnam, and Korea. The Gulf War was little different from my memory of watching Wolf Blitzer cover it for CNN. There was, in hindsight, obvious propaganda about how great we were in WWII when it was by far bloodier than the following wars. I think that says something about our ability to fight a clean war. It isn't clean but it is much better than in wars of the past. I hope it will get even better.
What i really mean by "make them look bad" is really "make them look bad because we have a political agenda" and not because we want to make the inevitability of war to become as civilized as possible. This is where we would benefit from a proper objective media. Instead we get bias to fuel a party.
that sucks.
