They aren't an Independent Content Creator though. RoosterTeeth owns Death Battle, meaning if they wanted too, they can override a decision from Chad and Ben. Hell, the merger was first happening around the time Yang vs. Tifa came out. So Death Battle technically fulfills the will of Rooster Teeth. So if Weiss wins, its Death Battle having a bias for their owners. If Mitsuru wins, its more likely Matt Hullum telling the idiots to do the research right and/or make sure Mitsuru wins to avoid bad PR.

And yes, its fairly obvious whoever is on the Research Team, including Ben Singer and possibly Chad James, can't do research right. Ben 10 vs Hal Jordan should be damning on its own.
