It was also an occupation, not a war. We were trying to preserve South Vietnam as a Western outpost over the objections of a large chunk of the South Vietnamese population, as well as North Vietnam. "Winning" would have entailed millions of soldiers staying over a long term.

Not necessarily. It entirely depends upon one's theory of victory. It was possible to defeat the insurgency in South Vietnam (as happened in 1968), and to fend off North Vietnamese incursions indefinitely. It was impossible to defeat North Vietnam or impose peace.

Basically, the United States would have to commit to South Vietnam for a very long haul, and help it to beat back incursions from a border that was impossible to control. In that respect, the media made such a commitment untenable.
