About CBS News
CBS News is the news division of CBS, which is the flagship property of the CBS Entertainment Group division of Paramount Skydance Corporation. Paramount Skydance, formerly Paramount Global and ViacomCBS, owns CBS, with ultimate control held by National Amusements, the Redstone family's holding company, through majority voting shares.
Historically, CBS News has been considered a mainstream U.S. media outlet with a left-leaning bias in story selection or a centrist orientation, known for strong sourcing and professional reporting. Ad Fontes Media rates CBS News as 'Middle' in bias and 'Reliable'. However, Media Bias/Fact Check (MBFC) recently rated CBS News as 'Right-Center Biased' with 'Mostly Factual' reporting in April 2026, attributing this shift to emerging editorial decisions and leadership influence under editor-in-chief Bari Weiss. The appointment of Weiss and ombudsman Kenneth R. Weinstein in late 2025, following Paramount's merger with Skydance Media, has led to allegations of a conservative, pro-Trump, pro-MAGA bias. Several '60 Minutes' correspondents have publicly accused the new leadership of attempting to insert political bias and falsehoods into their reporting and of compromising editorial independence. MBFC also downgraded its credibility to 'Medium' due to emerging evidence of censoring content unf
