At the time, I used to joke that as soon as I heard that Congress was debating the "peace and love for everyone act", I was heading for the hills.

Not true, as it applies to CNN, NBC (or also MSNBC). These networks were opposed to yellowcake story which led into the second gulf war; but went along with it in the end (in my opinion) for two reasons...
> they knew they weren't going to stop it, and the public was starting to get onboard with the idea
> they wanted to give Bush rope, hoping that when it failed they could use that to help their democrat friends get elected.

In the end though, I think the left-leaning media didn't want to miss out on what would become the big media story/event of the decade. On the day Bush's deadline ran out, MSNBC went as far as to run a countdown clock with livestreams from potential target locations. I recorded a bunch of it from the TV, see image
