It's sometimes amazing how someone will put a complete fruitcake on TV for some imagined concept of "balance." Political hacks will combat facts with unimaginable fantasy and then howl about how their "side" is not being represented.
One of the best examples of this (though there are many) is the "opposing view" on global warming. Somebody seeks out some parapsychotic "expert" to come up with a fairy tale that is contrary to all of the scientific data, and suddenly after there is some fabricated howling about how "the other side of the story is not being told," corporate media and politicians are suddenly putting the straw man in front of the cameras to spin the "reality" that up is down.
That's the beauty of an America where opinions can be bought.
