So much for CNN being "liberal media"!

Is this one surprising to people?
- It is unfortunately. I've been trying to spread the word that CNN was bought by Trump supporters back in 2022. Still surprises quite a few people.
- Bought out a few years ago
- Nope saw this one coming a km away.
- The Biden team apparently
- Isn't this chart reporting how people who watch CNN donated?
  
  Look at that community you're in.
Doesn't making political donations destroy any shred of impartiality the media once had?
- Yes
- You talking about cnn not all media
  
  Not American, so I don't really know the biases involved. But it seems super sketchy to me.
A well funded Republican party is good for business! Keeps that outrage flowing.
I dont understand. Im trying to find details/evidence for this elsewhere online with no results. Could it be mistaken? It seems almost impossible
- Edit: Well, well, well. It seems like they find workarounds to get money to political CNN commenters.

  It wasn't my intention to post half truths.
  
  It's publicly traded, as it is part of Warner Bothers discovery, which is owned by AT&T.
  
  Edit: I don't think you can donate to them at all. They have to release their political donations though, and on a first look they seem pretty eager to donate the same amount to Democrats and republicans at all times. There's third party reports that give them a bad rating because apparently quite a few donations went to Jan 6 supporters and the likes.

  The donations TWD makes are tiny
  
  Thanks for the explanation. More complicated than I realized
