It's possible for the public to believe the media is liberally biased and, at the same time, that the media (e.g., military 'experts') have sold out to the right.
Is more polarized now than it has been in sometime.
It is possible that the political right thinks the media has a liberal bias on many issues including the war, and that the political left thinks the media has a "consevatve bias" on many issues including the war. In fact, some recent polling seems to ndicate this is the case.
Most of America is opposed to the war, both left and rght, so the war is more a case of the media having sold out to the current administration. It is not really accrate to cast the war as a left/right issue. It confuses things. I think it is moe a matter of politics than ideology.
