> The military is highly influential, especially among family, in influencing political views

That's something very different vs the media. If you break it down to "they can influence somebody", then well, kindergarten teachers have influence over elections.

As soon as the military starts a coup and takes power, you'll be absolutely right. Until then, they don't decide domestic elections.
