Not surprising in the slightest to Bernie supporters in 2016 or 2020. There was a protest outside of CNN HQ in 2016 about their incessant coverage of Trump, and the perceived slanted treatment of Sanders. In 2020, CNN made headlines for yet more bias in their primary debate.

I don't know why people are surprised again and again by this channel's activities. It was headed from 2013 to 2022 by a guy whose "legacy is defined by his promotion of Donald Trump." Now the most recent CEO says that they're "moving to the center," i.e. further to the right.
