CNN has been in decline since they started. ca 2000 their content was a shocking amount of what we call clickbait now with the wording and often misrepresentation we've come to expect. They've surprisingly improved but I abandoned them over 20 years ago as anything I consume because of it.

Their TV network has always been terrible, but in the early teens, their website seemed reasonably well run.

I wouldn’t seek it out, but it wasn’t on my short list of sites to avoid in news aggregators and HN like it is today.

(I’ve never heard of the reporters they fired for being too liberal, but that event marked a sharp change in their strategy, where they said they wanted to target Fox News and Newsmax fans, and that they were changing their reporting standards to cater to those audiences.)
