I think it is important to reveal all aspects of American life -- to do otherwise is to live a lie.

There's a distinction to be made between "revealing all aspects" and "lending a megaphone". I didn't see the program in question but since it's CSPAN I presume that the speeches were aired in their entirety without comment.

Everyone has a constitutional right to free speech. No one has a constitutional right to CSPAN airtime. It is not necessarily an act of prudence or judgement to give equal time to wackos. Lies that are repeated without answers can sway belief among the ignorant.
