SRS--I often despair at the fact that media has the idea that "balance" means giving equal time to someone who represents an opposite view, no matter how bizarre that view is--and, as in your example, since the opposing view is really offered pro forma, they simply let the any one they have managed to scrape up rant for a their allotted time, and then move on as if nothing had happened.

Most of the people who belong to mainstream religious groups have no disagreements with the discoveries of science, and that comprises most "religious" people, but you wouldn't know that if you relied on the media--you'd think that science and religion were locked in some sort of mortal combat--
