Don't think I've seen this posted anywhere. It's a good compendium of evidence of bias towards the SBVFT and their story:

This is media bias against veterans generally. If it's in the wrong place, let me know and I'll move it.

The media has been generally anti-military since about 1966, when it became a mouthpiece and advocate for the so-called "peace" movement.

Even on the part of the "peace" groups, it's never been about an anti-war agenda or a peace agenda. At it's heart is pro-socialist, anti-military sentiment - in its propaganda and at the root of its funding.

Media bias does not discriminate between good and bad government and now is the greatest threat to our country, just as it was to the Tsar and the Shah. It is a tool of the rich and powerful or the incredibly energetic and motivated. Freedom of speech and press just makes it easier than it was for Hitler and other despots.

Here's an entertaining slant to the subject, indicating why the current version exists, and worth a read.
