Former CBS News President Van Gordon Sauter delivered a scathing critique of news outlets, saying two out of three leading cable news sources, in particular, "are unrelentingly liberal in their fear and loathing of President Trump."
Sauter, who served as CBS News president on two occasions in the 1980s, asked in a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Sunday whether a large segment of the public will "ever put stock in journalism it considers hostile to the country’s best interests."
“The highly influential daily newspapers in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Boston are now decidedly liberal,” Sauter wrote.
“On the home screen, the three broadcast network divisions still have their liberal tilt. Two of the three leading cable news sources are unrelentingly liberal in their fear and loathing of President Trump," he added, appearing to refer to MSNBC and CNN.
“The news media is catching up with the liberalism of the professoriate, the entertainment industry, upscale magazines and the literary world. Recent arrivals are the late-night TV hosts who have broken the boundaries of what was considered acceptable political humor for networks," he continued.
“To the journalists, including more than a few Republicans, [the president] is a blatant vulgarian, an incessant prevaricator, and a dangerous leader who should be ousted next January, if not sooner," he later added.
Sauter, also a onetime president of CBS Sports and Fox News, also asked what media coverage will look like if Trump wins a second term.
“How will a large segment of the public ever put stock in journalism it considers hostile to the country’s best interests?” he asked.

Actually i’m right, or haven’t you noticed that these stations still have plenty of advertisers even with dwindling viewership? Read post 22. Viewership is irrelevant. Advertisers spread their $$ across many platforms owned by these giant media corporations.
But you told me the liberal media is dead!!!!!
I’ve been waiting for one adult at any network other than Fox to realize the rest have ceded half the audio Fox without a fight and draw the obvious conclusions, but they never do.
THE key is to break up big Tech. They are the future and about the only thing propping up the networks at this point. If YouTube/Google we’re broken up such that independent content creators had a platform to get their stuff out, traditional media would quickly go belly up.
“Liberal” is a compliment compared to what they are.
I realize “Karen” has become a cute buzzword, but out of respect for Mrs.Karen Pence, I wish freepers would avoid using it.
It is. The Fox network destroyed the liberal media.
I've read that the three major networks have only to put the marker on their graves.
The online sites are too varied, I think, to be categorized except for THIS one. And, THIS site it, without doubt, the BEST.
