Our friends at CNN, MSNBC, Fox, have this fun habit. When discussing the news of the day, they bring two very biased people and act like this makes things neutral. For example, John McCain said this, so we brought on a Democratic strategist and a Republican strategist. Or they discuss immigration, so they bring in the president of Mexican Americans Are Super Cool and Pat Buchanan.
This is the best way to live your life, don't cha know? If you have dietary questions, makes sure and ask a anorexic person and a morbidly obese person. If you have questions about the environment, ask Earth First and Exxon. And if you have questions about sex ask a gay guy and Pat Haggard.

You are SO RIGHT. I love how they address lies too. They say the lie, then they get someone who refutes the lie, then they repeat the lie again. This is especially the format in newspaper articles.
Yay media! Yay "balance!"
