How can there be a liberal media bias when news stations have been deregulated?

Question

and are controlled by corporations and run in corporate interests? Seriously, how many liberals are there on the board of directors at CNN?

Answer 1

well people usually say the media has a liberal bias because they give more coverage to more liberal politicians, or left-leaning news anchors get their own shows where they are free to express their opinions, or even things like news anchors saying their opinions about a political topic off the teleprompter

as for news corporations like CNN, i don't think the board of directors is involved in much of the day-to-day activity of the network, so even if one of them had an agenda, it's not like they're the ones who pick the news for the reporters to cover
