"Escobar’s and Jackson Lee’s changing and omission of key words from the call transcript was absolutely deliberate (much in the same way Schiff’s parody reading was), because investigating election interference is very much in the national interest, which Democrats pretended to believe for three years until Trump asked the Ukrainian president to look into it for “us”, which had the potential to implicate Hillary Clinton and the DNC."

Hard to know what to make of it. I really doubt CNN as a corporation has had a change of heart. It could be that the writers of the article are concerned about their future employment prospects, and need bits to point to that suggest they can do real journalism.
I looked at who wrote the piece:
From CNN's Holmes Lybrand and Zoe Sottile

Could President Trump’s use of the phrase have been deliberate bait , knowing they were listening in and looking for a hook to hang impeachment on?
