That's a loaded question.
It is their duty to support the troops to a degree that you want to keep battle line morale up.
That said, it is also the media's responsibility to be as honest and to report what they are seeing to us so that we know the "truth". But the truth has become obscured because the press on both sides have their agendas.
The problem is you have this heavy partisan split and for the past few years the media being just whacked in every turn. So you have people believing what they want to hear and read and not really delving into the truth.
So when one news source states "A" is happening, the other side has to retaliate and say "B" is happening and "A" is just bias and lies.
