MSNBC is owned by Comcast. CNN is owned by Time Warner.
Both of those are corporations placing them at the right end of American politics. If either of them ever come across as left-leaning, it is simply a disguise of their true corporate nature.
You have been told by the right wing media that another part of the right wing media is the left.

Class, upbringing, a material incentive to maintain the system that gives them power.

Money and the willingness to step on you to get it.

MSNBC is the worst offender IMHO, but there are many others. CNN was atrocious when Trump was president, but they seem to be working on being a bit better.

Every one of those articles came out after the legislation passed... Want me to link articles defending war spending or tax cuts? This list is so sparse you had to link the same trump tax cut article twice to pad it out.
Edit: Actually read the article on Ukraine. It doesn't criticize spending at all. It lists a few negative effects of the extended war throughout the world, but it doesn't even mentioned how much the US has spent, let alone talk about what the money could have gone to.

You've been eating nothing much but propaganda for a while now. Its no secret the government has high level agents employed in high position at all those firms too... and the most effective propaganda is not the propaganda you dont realise is propaganda like black hawk down. Its propaganda that you actually pay to consume as news or entertainment.
Add to the info-sphere of propaganda all of the corperate advertising, which is just another form of consumptive based propaganda, lobbying or propogandists tailored specifically for the politicians, and education that is memory and recall focused rather than logic and critical thinking? And you've got a psychic reality that is nothing but propaganda going on really in every aspect of society, institution, age and demographic. Its the worst on the planet by far - simply because Americans dont even believe they are impacted by propaganda. In fact theyll double down on alternative facts and shout down anyone rational as the ones spewing bullshit.

Just read Manufacturing Consent. I always laugh at how right and left meet in the middle. All these conservative friends talking about media conspiracies, and i say it isn't a conspiracy. It has been documented and discussed for decades by none other than your friends on the left.

What would you do if you had their names (most of which can be looked up)? The whole system is designed to protect these people. Why do you think the NSA is spying on us? Why do you think the cops are unaccountable?

It's funny how easily a person can spot the media manipulation/outrage baiting of their rival political party, but can't spot it in their own media.

I like how people in the comments blame the political party that's not theirs for media manipulation but never blame their own. Just goes to show how brainwashed everyone is 🤡

Name names, the people behind it get away with it through anonymity. If we held people to account for their deeds, it'd be different.

There is another way that these media outlets hide the truth... by burying the story. This allows them to claim to be reporting on something, while keeping people in the dark. In the old days, it was placing the article on page A22 of the newspaper. Now it is placing it 3 clicks away from the front page.
I checked the waybackmachine for each of your citations. I can not find the articles on the front page of the afternoon capture for any of them. That includes the Trump one, which is hard to believe considering CNN has had 10 Trump-bashing articles per day, every day, up to the present.
