    I think you missed the news about them getting bought up and completely gutted by a Nazi a few years ago.

      Anyone that buys a news agency wants to maintain/increase click through and retention. They are going to continue to cater to their demographic, no matter who buys them. Billionaires literally care about one thing. They don’t care what the news site is saying as long as it keeps people reading and coming back. They would tank the entire company if they tried to convert it to right leaning media.

      They are going to make right leaning media to get click from the right, and left leaning media for the left. They are not going to leave a dollar on the table. If you can find a right biased article from CNN, please do share.
