This looks like just like someone doing an odd web search.
"cast of CNN" which the search engine treats like a regular tv show
If you search Google for "hosts of CNN," you get this
Broadcasters/ CNN instead of Actors / CNN
So these just looks like a different search results template/language being used depending on what you searched.
Good catch.
There's also a difference between journalists and program hosts. Many people seem to think that just because a person works on camera for a news agency, such as CNN, they are journalists or news anchors.
But many of them are opinion hosts or opinion anchors. They don't have the same legal/ethical constraints that news anchors do. Because it's their opinion.
This is something that really bothers me, that so many of the public can't tell opinions from facts, and just believe someone based only on the host being on television. It's just ignorant.
News anchors don't have legal constraints outside from things like defamation laws. Take a look at Fox, they just paid nearly a billion dollars in a defamation suit, but nobody involved would be charged with a crime.
For major news organizations it would be the producer who is responsible for what goes on air. There's also something called an opinion journalist.
Legal restraints are rather important when suing someone for slander and libel.
Those are civil not criminal and they apply equally to opinion hosts and regular news hosts.
There's no difference.
