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.
Hopefully Camila Thorndike can change that.
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.

When this article was written, the world population was 7.742 billion people. 6 billion people dying would mean more than 75% of the world population.
The shock of this prediction is only slightly blunted when you consider that the world population is currently increasing linearly, and is expected to peak at current growth rates around 10 billion people near 2100. Six billion people dying of climate-related causes is not that crazy over the timescale of 75 years.
His prediction is pretty optimistic compared to the prediction of “Only about 10 per cent of the planet’s population would survive at 4 C.” by professor Kevin Anderson of the U.K.’s Tyndall Centre for Climate Change.
Gunfire and false claim of officer down because some cops wanted to kill some black people. Plainclothes police driving a moving truck, WTF?
Do you unironically believe Martin Luther King Jr. wanted Barry Goldwater to win when he increased his civil rights protest organizing in defiance of Lyndon B Johnson during the lead up to the 1964 presidential election?
