The Vietnam experience taught the risks of unfettered reporting. Go back to your history book to see how the anti-war movement actually drove an Administration from power. Your final point is also valid - absent a compelling public threat - as with military conscription during the Vietnam War - people simply don't feel it all that important to become informed and even less important to get involved. As for the five points you made about US misconduct - all you have to do is tell the populace they're being attacked - a la 9/11 - and you can do anything to anybody, any time. Hitler's Minister of Propaganda, Josep Goebbels, said that - sadly, he was all too correct.
