In some countries, 2+2=5 is not given as much credence as 2+2=4 simply for being mentioned.- XMASTIME
The BBC is doing what America needs to do, refusing to give crackpots equal air time
in the interests of "fair and balanced":
In other subjects, it’s possible for honest people with different
values to come down on different sides of a debate. But when it comes to
science, especially firmly established and consensually agreed-upon science, putting on some crackpot who disagrees is not “fair and balanced.”
News shows don’t put on a flat-earther whenever they show a map. They
don’t get an opposing opinion from a young-Earth creationist when a new
dinosaur fossil is found. They don’t interview an astrologer when a new
exoplanet is discovered. So why put on a climate change denier when
we’re talking about our planet heating up?
