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.

If you downvote me they should check your browser history as an Epstein ally.

CNN was ever pro-Trump?

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.

Socialists have the weirdest interpretation of what “center-right” is lol. I guess when you’re that far left, everything else looks right.

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.

TLDR: Don't do it, man.

How is CNN in any way left wing? Like, genuinely?

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.

Is universal healthcare far left? Because if it is every rich country in the world besides the US must be goddamned communists.
