Can you imagine if Senator Bill Frist came out and said "I am against this war and I think all the soldiers should be removed from Iraq immediately?" That would make the front page of the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Chicago Tribune, Washington Post, and every other major newspaper in every city across this country. Network news would carry it as THE story. This would be the treatment even if there was an unprecedented tsunami, a cat 5 (7?) hurricane in the gulf headed straight for New Orleans, and there was a magnitude 9 earthquake in San Francisco.
I think this one is long since forgotten, but I'm not so certain this ever was important news. Any actual liberal would never mistake Lieberman for a progressive. He's always supported the war, so there's no reversal when he says it's going well. It would be major news if Nancy Pelosi said that as she has generally been an opponent of the war. If the media were biased toward the left, wouldn't we have heard from the millions of protesters rallying against the war before we invaded Iraq? Wouldn't we hear from them now?
