CNN
U.S. center-left
CNN is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery and is expected to move into a newly spun-off entity called Discovery Global in mid-2026. It is funded primarily through cable fees and advertising, with a growing digital subscription component. Its coverage of the Trump administration's second term has been broadly critical, consistent with the center-left orientation that independent media-bias organizations assign to it.
