The deregulation of media ownership has caused most media outlets to be owned by a few major corporations. Do you honestly belief that General Electric is a part of the "liberal media?"

Ownership is only relevant if the owners are pushing their personal agenda on the network (such as CNN). Most corporate ownership is about profit, and as long as they are making a profit they stop worrying there. It is the producer/editor/big name reporters that tend to decide what is covered and how it is covered. CBS isn't getting a shake up because of its obvious liberal bias, its getting a shake up because its ratings are in the toilet. If CBS had the #1 news show instead of being beat even by cable, you would see no changes.
