There is definately a difference between war protesters today and decades ago. The war protesters nowadays protest against war and the people who are responsible for the war. The soldiers are seen as what they are. A tool for politicans who failed to do their job properly.
As to the US media coverage I would have to say that it is simply censorship. You don't show dead bodies, hostages and basically no bad war pictures. I thought it was their job to report and not to filter out what they think might not be suitable for you. If you just report without judgement you will not get people to react like in the Vietnam war but inform them so they can make their own mind.
