The AllSides evaluation for CNN is interesting: https://www.allsides.com/news-source/cnn-media-bias.

They have CNN currently rated as "Lean Left", changed from "Left" a few years ago due to the changes you point out. You'll need to read the fine text to see their reasoning. While there were some votes that they are now biased to Right, this was a minority position.
