CNN used to be the only option.  I don't think they really skewed left until Trump, and I think he almost forced that on them.  He attacked them so vehemently it, again, became personal and the professional detachment needed for honest journalism was eroded.  It used to be that journalists leaned left and the editorial staff leaned right.  That is certainly no longer the case, as the article in OP demonstrates.  I believe that used to work out well for the most part, a nice yin yang relationship.  For whatever reason that's no longer the case, and the profession is certainly suffering for it.

This is a government funded news source that is 100% left leaning. All funding should be removed.
