This idea that all opinions are held equal is not the case.
Exactly. There is no need to give equal time to things like "I don't believe in global warming" because there is no need to BELIEVE in it. It is a thing that is happening whether you believe in it or not.
And I'm tired of the media giving lunatics equal air time over things like "do women really get pregnant when 'legitimately raped'" or saying people getting food stamps are 'stray animals' (we're on food stamps right now because my husband can't find a full time job and I'm in grad school and my stipend is less than minimum wage, so fuck these people that are all DRUG TESTS WELFARE BLAH BLAH BOOTSTRAPS, and oh by the way my GTF job doesn't count as 'work' for the 'work requirement' even though I'm teaching and grading and advising just like a goddamn professor) and I'm tired of it.
