The Democrat's still haven't updated their party platform on climate change since before Joe Biden was elected. It sits, frozen in time, with nuggets like "We will take immediate action to reverse the Trump Administration’s dangerous and destructive rollbacks of critical climate and environmental protections." and "We will rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement" like those things are a step forward rather than a return to the catastrophic status quo.

MBFC claiming CNN is Left-Center, when it is owned by conservative billionaire John Malone. This is an example of MBFC's intentional distortion of the political spectrum by falsely representing it as dominated by a left-wing bias.
An example of CNN's actual right-wing bias is when they put an obvious Trump Supporter on their recent panel of 'undecided voters'. According to Parker Molloy from The New Republic, this isn't "an isolated case of questionable representation in CNN’s voter panels. In fact, it appears to be part of a troubling pattern stretching back years." She suggests it could be "a potential willingness to mislead viewers for the sake of compelling television." - media ownership and their profit motive, and complicity of the media elite are sources of bias that MBFC does not adequately account for.
