On balance
Excellent comment from Planeshift at Liberal Conspiracy:
Everytime terrorism is discussed there needs to be a representative of the 9-11 truthers to argue that al qaida doesn’t exist and it was all Dick Cheney. Everytime the business news is read out I want a marxist academic to explain how business is shafting the working class. During astronomy documentries I want flat earthers and people who think the moon landings were faked to be given airtime. I want Nazis invited onto history programmes to defend Hitler, tobacco companies to be allowed to argue that smoking is cool and lung cancer isn’t that painful, representatives of organised crime to point out the contribution they make to the economy, misanthropic social workers to argue that Baby P would have only ended up an asbo kid, animal rights extremists to rant about meat during cookery programmes, Athiests on songs of praise, peadophiles to discuss the age of consent, tribal elders from Pakistan to defend honour killings, Malthusians to defend the HIV virus, etc.
