What I don't understand is, all of the networks are in the hands of major corporations, so what is their advantage in being liberal?

The corporate question. The news is a business and business is about profit. The news can say whatever it wants as long as the share holders are pleased.
The liberal question. Educated elitist politicians and journalists share a misguided notion that it is their noble duty to save the uneducated "unwashed" masses from themselves. The media shares their ideals and they want a share of the power.
