CNBC (Opinion)
U.S. center-left (business-oriented)
CNBC Opinion is the commentary and op-ed section of CNBC, a business-focused cable and digital news network now owned by Versant Media Group after Comcast completed a spin-off in January 2026. Media bias trackers rate CNBC's overall coverage as center-left to lean-left, though its pro-market, business-news orientation sometimes gives it a more centrist or even center-right feel on economic issues. Its Opinion section publishes contributors across a range of business and policy viewpoints, and its broader news coverage of the Trump administration has been mixed — providing the White House direct interview access while also featuring critical policy analysis.
