Are you suggesting that both sides of the climate change debate get equal time in the media?

Pretty much, used to be every climate change story would have the 3 person panel setup with the host, a climate change denier and a climate scientist with the question of "is climate change a real threat."
I regularly see climate change stories, on TV, print, and the internet, and I can't recall any time in the last several years where any time/space, let alone an equal amount, was provided for dissenting opinions. At best, they might include mention of a strawman example of an opposing argument.

Perhaps you and I are consuming different news sources - do you have any recent examples demonstrating this equal allocation to both sides?
