CNN never had a huge left-leaning bias until Trump became President.  That job belonged to MSNBC.

Foxnews was created as a propaganda machine for the right at a time when there was not a huge left-wing bias in the media.  Foxnews worked hard to create the appearance of a left leaning bias in order top market themselves.

The "bias" is mostly based on perception.  Conservatives view the right-wing propaganda from Foxnews as being "fair and balanced" while anything that is truly "fair and balanced" is considered "left-leaning".  You see the same thing with Christians in the United States.  If all religions or non-religious beliefs are treated equally then Christians claim they are "under attack" or victims of discrimination.  The only thing they consider "fair" is if they are treated better than other religions or non-religious believers.
