That Liberal Media

The truth is, the anti-war position was never a ¨liberal¨position, really. However, it was convenient to paint it as such in order to identify the true enemy of the Bush administration - Democrats. But, in any case, FAIR tells us how the liberal media presented the war to us:
Of a total of 840 U.S. sources who are current or former government or military officials, only four were identified as holding anti-war opinions--Sen. Robert Byrd (D.-W.V.), Rep. Pete Stark (D.-Calif.) and two appearances by Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D.-Ohio). Byrd was featured on PBS, with Stark and Kucinich appearing on Fox News.
