For years they scrambled to be Fox lite. Hired on wingnuts as commentators for 'balance'. Always clung to the false equivalency strategy of making sure they, at the very least, did not embarrass any right winger / Republican guest with too many facts, and made sure to never do any pre-interview research to challenge them so as to make sure they came on back. Made sure they allowed any RW guest to blab on and on over-talking all the other guests and host with endless obfuscation. Then throw up their hands at the end and declare "who knows who is telling the truth?"...you decide.

Now they are not really trusted much by either side. Although they do have a couple of great journalists only now showing their feathers.
