How many times do people need to be told that X is not a trustworthy platform?

Technically, there's precedent for signaling editorial alignment w/some national values (e.g., "democracy dies in darkness" presupposes support for democracy).
But it's the "we make no apologies" for loving America — a phrase used often by Republicans — that'll likely be read as right-coded.

Incredible. CBS Evening News announces five new “simple values” — instead of their “38-page handbook” — as they roll out Tony Dokoupil is lead anchor.
One of those values is simply: “We love America and make no apologies for saying so.”

CBS is the BBC's partner news organisation in the US. Surely that relationship must be in question, given the BBC's commitment to impartiality?
