I wonder if it also signals that CNN is trying to appeal more to conservatives?

Fox has been going more to the right for a few years now, but CNN has really been fading out especially with the recent scandals hitting Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon. Their core audience is older centrist-leaning folks and securing someone like Chris Wallace may help them bring over some center-right viewers from Fox.
A few decades now...
Maybe this is an omission from CNN that moving to the left with opinion shows was a mistake and represents a move back to hard news again. Isn't Wallace considered more of a centrist reporter?
Disclaimer: I don't watch Fox or CNN other than occasionally seeing it in an office or when visiting someone's house?
But this probably is a consequence of Fox having gone full Trumpy/facist (see: Tucker Carlson) and CNN willing to buy names for their new streaming service, which I think they correctly view as the future of live news (if there is a future outside of TikTok or TikTok-alikes).
