1) Present tense is most prevalent. 

2) Present tense gives the audience the idea that the controversy is still going on because you are still speaking about it in the present tense. 

3) Yes,  the shift make sense. I only shit to past when I refer to a source. This is because the quote was said something in the past thus the verb is in past tense. Once I am done referring to the source I go right back into present tense. I think the way I used my verb tense flowed smoothly because of this, 

4) I used primarily present tense.
