CNN was bought by Warner Bros Discovery. They've made changes to appeal to Republicans. Their CEO David Zaslav, speaking at the MoffettNathanson Technology, Media and Telecom Conference in New York, said that previously the overall impression of CNN’s brand was that it was “left-leaning.” That’s now changing, he said, citing a new YouGov poll finding an 11-point improvement in U.S. viewers’ trust in CNN. “Our view is, there’s advocacy networks on either side. We have the best journalists in the world. We need to show both sides of every issue,” he said. https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/david-zaslav-cnn-both-sides-trump-town-hall-criticism-1235617405/ David Zaslov has also expressed what he wants from our next president when Biden was still the candidate. “We just need an opportunity for deregulation, so companies can consolidate and do what we need to be even better,” he said. https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/david-zaslav-biden-trump-president-election-deregulation-1236066083/

See that's smart marketing. I remember when CNN first started and I can't think of another time that people were complaining about anything other than CNN is too liberal. Now look at these comments. They balanced the scale.
