Lol what does this even mean? Yes "the media" is one monolithic entity with one view, and that view is it dislikes one crazy right-wing Republican candidate who's never held political office, but likes two other crazy right-wing Republican candidates who have never held political office and have broadly the same views as the first guy on almost every issue. Oh, and none of the three are going to win the nomination and every serious journalist knows it.

If you look at all the stuff Sanders has written and said, before and during his Presidential campaign, it should be really really clear that there are very few people in Congress who are as strongly in favor of cutting the military budget as he is. He's not great on Israel, but he probably is better than any other candidate in the race (that said, supporting apartheid is supporting apartheid, even if you're only sort of supporting apartheid).
I'm not really a supporter of his, but it's just wrong to say he doesn't want to cut the military/defense budget.
