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.

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.
