My theory about this is that most media outlets are run by folks who were young hotshots in the Vietnam era--which just happens to correspond to the dizzying height of the sexual revolution--and their voluble wishing for "another Vietnam" is sort of akin to the sixty-something guy with the red convertible sportscar.

They want their youth and virility back. They look back fondly on those days when they were covering a student campus demonstration during the day, and balling a hot co-ed they'd met on the picket line that night.

This was a time of great "riches" for them, and those halcyon days having gone forever, they have this sort of "cargo-cult" mentality that if the right circumstances can be somehow recreated, that lost world will reappear like magic.

This is a good idea for sociologist or psychiatrist doctoral theses. But it will never happen because leftist dominate that field as much as reporters (maybe more).
