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."

@jpostma @luckytran Cartoon gets it right. Why elevate the people who willing ignore and twist the historical or scientific evidence to fit their world view? Why do media outlets support this? #CNN — next time you do a show on space travel, will you include a #flatearther for their perspective? #Fox — next time there is a story on the Holocaust, will you include deniers? #climatechange evidence is solid — time for the #deniers to no longer be given a stage.
