FWIW - Exposing to both sides of an issue does not generally involve comparing the opinions of one extreme to an opposing moderate. I know that some on the left claim to think that because the formerly mainstream media reports with similar bias that their extremist views represent moderate or centrism.

A caller to a centrist talking head who has both radio and TV shows on Fox suggested that News Corp should start a rightwing news network with similarly extremist bias to the big five liberal networks. Of course, since News Corp is trying to make money, they would never do that. People have gotten used to the extremism of leftwing media outlets as most of them migrated from a mild leftword tilt gradually. Diverisity in the news room used to mean diversity of opinion, it now appears to mean people of different races who all are leftwing loons.
