I don't know where you got "left leaning" from unless you're bending over backwards to be fair, they are if anything centrists which makes sense since they're Google. For heaven's sake, the slide about conversations of free speech, I see establishment centrist media pieces on the same plot as Breitbart and WorldNetDaily. An equivalent would be listing the Young Turks or alternet.

I think it is fair, but I can imagine a scenario where a person reads a line and thinks "this is obviously leftist".

Personally, I think company's have been bending over backwards to prove they aren't biasing against the right.

On the two pages titled "But recent global events have undermined this utopian narrative" there are a total of 8 events depicted. The viewer is expected to think that the events are problems. About 4 or 5 of the events would be considered good by many on the right, but bad by the left. The remaining events are just gross, weird, and otherwise unrelated to the US political spectrum.
