"Are CNN and MSNBC considered left wing?"
Not particularly.
MSNBC might pass just on the left for the world political scale, CNN is pretty centrist.
The point is most of America’s ‘Left’ are simply centrists Liberals, Obama and Hillary certainly on the right of the spectrum on a global scale.
Which is why the rest of the world stands and laughs at the GOP.
MSNBC from when I watched it seemed to support Bernie Sanders, who is one of the few Left politicians in America. If it went on to support any true Left wingers in the Democrats it could brand itself as a voice of Social Democracy, and the American people.
CNN is what most American media networks are. The voice of establishment centrists. Except Fox which is the voice of establishment right wingers. Due to the fact they’re run by rich Americans it is very unlikely they will ever become left wing.
The reason they are considered Left wing is because the GOP has moved so far they can no longer see the center of the spectrum.
Right wing Americans who watch British politics must be cowering behind the sofa at Corbyn’s rise, a man who makes Bernie Sanders look like a Liberal."
Pretty much as I and a good part of the "rest" of the world sees it.
