"A number of conservative commentators who were formerly CNN contributors have come out to say the network has become a hate-fuelled platform against President Donald Trump, with one stating that it “openly despises conservatives” who support the president.
"CNN has struggled to keep on pro-Trump contributors over the past years, according to a report from Mediaite. The most recent example occurred last week when the network let go of former contributor Ken Cuccinelli after reports emerged that the president was considering him to fill a top Homeland Security position. Cuccinell’s departure further culled the already endangered intellectual diversity at CNN.

"In 2017 the network unveiled a new slogan with the company vowing to put “facts first” and reaffirmed that they would not be affected by emotion or bias. But several former contributors for the network disputed their ex-employer ever following through on that promise.
“ 'Most of us got squeezed out involuntarily,” former Georgia Congressman Jack Kingston told Mediaite. Kingston’s CNN relationship was left to expire earlier this year.
"He continued: “I was there for 2 years and was certainly willing to continue. It was clear to me in the end that the Republicans they prefer are anti-Trump Republicans.”
"Economic analyst Stephen Moore, also a former CNN contributor, was fired earlier this year after Trump nominated him to serve on the board of the Federal Reserve. Moore later withdrew from consideration after other media, including his former employer, dug into his personal history including unsealing his divorce records and unearthing humor columns he wrote nearly two decades ago.
“ 'Who are the Republicans?” Moore told Mediate in reference to the those still remaining on CNN. “John Kasich? He hates Trump!' ” . . .
