When CNN was bought a couple years ago one of the biggest investors in WB (obviously a right wing billionaire) flat out said the goal was to make CNN more like Faux News...

And people are still shocked CNN acts like Faux News now.

The mainstream media will always want to drag both parties as far to the right as possible, because you don't become rich enough to own mainstream media if you value literally anything over money.
