BS. That whole "both sides have a point" crap is pretty much how we got into this mess in the first place.

When one side makes predictions based on analysis of existing data and our best understanding of the laws of physics... and the other denies it because sky god says so, then failing to give both sides equal weight or attention isn't "bias".

Of course, today it's not usually so much "sky god" as it is some company that still wants to keep selling you tobacco or gasoline. Or some snake oil merchant or YouTube "creator" who found out that they can gain more power or make more money selling disinformation and fear.

Pretty much the point of the article, actually.
