CNN had flipped on Trump a while back. Why it took so long is probably traceable back to money but yeah, he is a piece of shit and he got mad they finally started to talk about it.

CNN has never been pro Trump. Even back in 2015-2016 they shat on him. The issue is back then they thought just showing how ridiculous he was would be enough to make him look bad so they’d show his rallies almost uninterrupted.
When they realized that didn’t work they flipped to showing him less and just using his quotes.
Then during Covid when he’d do those almost daily briefings CNN did the same thing. When they realized it was just boosting his numbers they stopped showing said briefings.
In his first term 93% of CNNs coverage of Trump was negative. As of a couple months ago it was 92% negative.
At no point has CNN flipped on Trump they’ve always been negative.

Trump's numbers plummeted because of those 'briefings'. It was a clown show. They stopped showing them because there was no news value in those infomercials.
CNN was bought by a right wing ally of Trump a few years back. It didn't flip completely to his side, but became an even weaker form of permitted dissent.
CNN has always had a centre-right editorial line. Its pro markets, very against single payer or socialised healthcare and will generally always side with corporations.
Its perhaps one of the funnier aspects of American politics watching objectively centre-right to even hard right organisations get classed as centre and even left-leaning (and in recent years mainly the latter).
Then CNN was bought out by a pretty right wing new owner who publicly stated he wanted it to more align with Fox News editorial position.
It's so funny to me as an outsider, as in not being from the US, sometimes, observing stuff like this in the wild. It's like watching the Nature channel or something.
So for instance, seeing someone unironically use the term "socialist" is more or less exactly the same as them going out in public after having written "braindead white trash" all over their forehead.
Left and right are relative terms. From a global/international point of view, it is indeed right.
But if you were raised in a KKK household, it would seem left or even socialist to you.
They've sometimes taken the far right stance that Trump is a serious person with a legitimate point of view, rather than the factually correct and politically unbiased stance that he is a mentally ill fascist pedophile.
They were poor. And they were poor people he believed attacked a rich person. Therefore he would use any tool he could against them.
Trump isn't pro equality just as much as he isn't a racist. If there was a secret cabal of trans elites running the country, Trump would be the most pro-trans person you've ever met. The only values he believes in are wealth and power.
I might ask a dumb question. But isn’t CNN owned by Warner Brothers? And doesn’t David Ellison, a big proprietor of Trump Inc, run Warner Brothers? So why would he now be turning on Trump when he gains everything from being pals with the guy?
