Only two things can force these networks to change: Shareholders and advertisers.
The pinkos who run the so-called “news” media hate America with a passion.
Newsflash: They’ve always been this liberal. The difference is now they are intolerantly liberal. They’ve become a bunch of hypocritical Karens who demand everyone think and act as they do yet excuse themselves when their own actions stray from their dogma.
The lockdown is the perfect storm for democrat states. The governors get to be irrationally tyrannical and the democrat population get to experience a high dose of fear, which keeps them in line. A democrat president said, “you have nothing to fear but fear itself (paraphrase?).” But because of the flippy quality of the democrat psyche, fear is the reigning culprit which leads to irrational behavior — like a woman swimming to Canada because Trump was elected. Fear rises in their mind and they are herd like to protect themselves. They border on and fluctuate between manic worshiping and violently condemning: Obama was God, Trump is the Devil. It’s extremist mindset for extreme democrat governors to rule over.
C’mon. Sauter knew exactly what he was doing , who he was hiring and the anti Reagan, anti Republican, Catholic bashing policies he condoned in the 1980’s. What is scary is that a majority of the American people are still influenced by these corrupt, anti American, pro globalist networks. They are a corrosive blight on the American nation. They are like invasive, ugly weeds on a beautiful lawn.
The simple answer:
They won't. And they don't.
Journalism as a "noble" profession died many years ago.
The SJW Leftists might not care, given the "virtue" of their cause, but it will get harder and harder to make a living.
The question most asked by Journalists in 2030: "Do you want fries with that?"
“””The highly influential daily newspapers in New York, Washington, Los Angeles and Boston are now decidedly liberal”””
These newspapers and most of the media are far more than ‘decidedly liberal’.
The media is our American version of the Soviet Union’s PRAVDA. Namely, the media is nothing but a propagandizing and brainwashing adjunct of the DEMOCRAT SOCIALIST PARTY.
ImVho, the major networks are NOT “liberal”.- Instead the “News” outlets are FAR LEFT & I ignore the self-important, DIMocRAT propaganda, foolishness, errant nonsense & OUTRIGHT LIES that they spew onto the public airwaves.
Further the so-called “major newspapers” are no better in 2020. = For example THE WASHINGTON POST is nothing more than a HOUSE ORGAN of the DNC/DNCC & the so-called “progressive wing” of the DIMocRATS Party.
Personally, I believe NOTHING that the “mainstream media” states that is more controversial than the latest weather report.

Its business...
Comcast owns MSNBC and NBC they get their growth from movies and theme parks in China. And Chinese censors watch them carefully.
Disney owns ABC they get their growth and profits from China. And China watches their news carefully. ESPN is trying to bring American sports to China.
CBS owns Viacom which sends their movies to China.
CNN is in all business hotels in China. The Chinese sensors tell them what stories they can run.
Bezos owns The Washington Post. Amazon is very dependent on China. Much of what they sell comes directly from China. Amazon is like a direct pipeline from your front door to China.
The New York Times is owned by Carlos Slim. He does not formally own the newspaper. He owns all the bonds. If he were to stop investing in the Times they would go under or cut the staff in half.
Only Fox is based in UK, Australia and the US. They are not perfect at all. But they sold their movie studio so they are not dependent on bad governments. You may not like everything they say on Fox, but they are the only major network who is free to say what they like. They still have advertisers who can keep them in line a bit. But they have already taken a hit with many advertisers who refuse to put their ads on Fox.
The media business is not the only one. Colleges, technology, cars, and stock markets, all are very dependent on China for growth.
People are now on to them and the media no longer have a monopoly on propaganda.

This is soooo ancient news.
Hell, it’s ancient history now.
Liberal + loathing Trump + Agenda = Media
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.
