The problem with that is it assumes every idea or opinion is of equal value and that every idea or opinion deserves equal time.

They just don’t. I don’t need give you a platform, weigh the pros and cons, and listen to you extol the virtues of you shitting in my soup. It is not on equal footing to the idea of not shitting in my soup.

Likewise, I don’t need to listen to the pros and cons of a flavor of linux backed by technocrats in bed with a body politic that would cause any founding father to eat his own beard in rage.
