I don't think reporters should ever be cheerleaders. To the extent that it happens, I would say it has much more to do with consumers preferring cheerleading over more responsible reporting.
I called my hypothetical a "hypothetical" to avoid discussing the actual coverage of the Vietnam War. So you kinda missed the point.
