It might make sense to separate key social issue from the rest. The way the media frames matters of divorce, race, LGBTQ and gender have all moved leftward to varying degrees.
But on issues like labor and capital the media definitely moved rightward. On foreign policy, the press definitely seems to favor conflict escalation over diplomacy, which can be viewed as a leftward or rightward bias depending on the situation.
So today, the "center" in media is the socially-permissive, global intervention, capitalist perspective.
