Was it though? Rewatching it I realize it's lib at best, conservative at worst. They portray unions negatively, they crap on Castro, and they do glorify the troops unashamedly. I don't think this scene was intended to portray the soldier negatively.

Edit: also they portray kissinger and Bush Sr positively

I just saw this episode and it is definitely satire. It's stated very straight, rather than a clear joke, but it's definitely making fun of this exact type of article/propaganda.

It's been awhile since I've seen those episodes but from what I remember, the portrayal of Kissinger and HW are far from positive, Kissinger comes across as a weirdo that dropped his glasses in the toilet and spaces out mid conversation so he can monologue in his head, and HW is portrayed as a vindictive neurotic prick.
