CNN

U.S. center-left

CNN is a U.S. cable and digital news network currently owned by Warner Bros. Discovery, with a pending sale to Paramount Skydance (backed by the Ellison family) expected to close later in 2026. Its coverage generally leans center-left and has been consistently critical of the Trump administration, a relationship strained further in September 2026 when the White House barred CNN, along with MS NOW and Politico, from press access, prompting CNN to sue.

Owned byWarner Bros. Discovery, currently in the process of being acquired by Paramount Skydance (controlled by the Ellison family) in a ~$110 billion deal approved by shareholders in April 2026 and by the FCC in September 2026, but not yet fully closed as of late September 2026
