A "range of opinions"

Echidne has a good brief post on the media as a gatekeeper to acceptible views on public issues, through the selection of which "opposing views" (and representatives of each) are presented. It's hard not to notice the frequent pairings of right-wing crazies with barely-left-of-center moderates and think that perhaps the state of public views is being shaped by more than the facts... More liberals! More feminists! Let the public outgrow its fears!
