Military spending and public opinion

According to Rasmussen many Americans support cuts in offense spending.

I have noticed that the mainstream news media has very little discussion/debates about this issue. If the corporate news media allowed this to be discussed more, I believe a much higher percentage of Americans would support major military spending cuts.

If nearly half of Americans want military spending cuts we should hear about it more in the mainstream news media.

Is this evidence of propaganda by omission?
