CNN Politics

U.S. center-left

CNN Politics is the political news division of CNN, part of Warner Bros. Discovery (with a pending sale to Paramount Skydance). It leans center-left in framing and story selection, and its relationship with the Trump administration has grown openly adversarial, including a September 2026 lawsuit after Trump banned CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from White House access.

Owned byWarner Bros. Discovery (CNN's parent); Paramount Skydance has agreed to acquire WBD in a roughly $111 billion deal that cleared a major antitrust settlement on September 21, 2026, but had not yet closed as of September 25, 2026
