Most traditional media have long held a more left-leaning tone, but that’s changing.
From on the ground reporting to the top executives, more conservative voices are making their way into the long-established outlets. Major changes may not be felt yet from those less involved in the media landscape, but let’s take a look at how these outlets might be making a shift to the right—and why.
One of the biggest changes began when the family of Larry Ellison, a billionaire buddy of President Donald Trump, took control of Paramount and, in turn, CBS News. It didn’t take long for top-down changes to begin. First, they tapped Kenneth Weinstein, the former head of conservative think tank Hudson Institute, to oversee public complaints as CBS News’ ombudsman.
