Still my favorite segment about why it's a bad idea to participate in bad-faith "debates" about science. They only result in further amplifying disinformation.

"People still think this issue is open to debate, because on TV it is. It's always one person for one person against. When you look at the screen, it's 50/50, which is inherently misleading."

It reminds me of the old adage from my journalism/broadcasting courses.

If you’re a journalist and one person tells you it’s raining and another says it isn’t, it’s not your job to report both sides. Your job is to open a window, see for yourself, and report the truth.
