CBS has always leaned left. Nothing new. And liberals really miss the days when news was uniform, from the NYT’s mouth to the networks’ ears. There are many fewer arguments when opinions get to be facts.
I think your belt is too rusted over. All the news outlets are centrist, not liberal. Scott Pelley’s far from being a liberal by any stretch. There aren’t any liberal newscasts in America. Conservatives lean towards one extreme while mainstream media takes the center, neutral view. There’s no coverage of liberal issues on broadcast television nor cable television. Except for John Oliver’s show on HBO. Last Week Tonight does tend to cover liberal issues more than mainstream newscasts. Sharyl’s just auditioning to become yet another conservative talking head for one of the thousands of conservative outlets out there.
And MSNBC Hosts laugh at Bristol Palin and claim its the best 90 seconds they have ever seen, but touch Chelsea Clinton or the Obama Girls, they would not dream of it. Sure….no bias there. And have any of the “so called” centrist News Organizations in your definition pointed out that Obama refuses to put travel restrictions on from visitors in Ebola Stricken Countries, as Australia or some EU Countries have – because of the upcoming election and he does not want to offend possible Democratic Voters? Sure…..Centrist, ROFLMAO.
