COM Library has a ranking system for news organizations that seems to line up pretty well with my personal observations [0]. They show CNN as centrist but left-leaning. This agrees with my personal experience, except for news stories in the "woke" category, where CNN seems to skew far left.

You do realize that “woke” as a pejorative originated in left-wing criticism of bourgeois, centrist identity politics?

So, unless you are saying that CNN has joined that leftist critique, I think what you really probably mean is that CNN represents a strongly-held centrist position in that area, not a far-left one.

The recuperation of leftist language critiquing capitalist politics as pejorative to anti-capitalist is a sight to behold.
