Narrator: TALKING DINOSAURS IN: "THE FALLACY OF BALANCE"
T-Rex: The fallacy of balance occurs when news agencies claim truth by reporting "both sides of the story"!
T-Rex: In most cases, that's not balanced at all!
T-Rex: For instance, if you're doing a story on how the sun is hot (assuming it's a slow news day), you don't spend half the story presenting a guy who thinks the sun is cold! You ignore the crazy minority.
T-Rex: But often, when science is reported, equal credence is given to the kooks and their kooky theories! Science is presented as merely an opposing viewpoint.
Utahraptor: Wow, I had no idea you were so fascist!
T-Rex: I'm not!
Utahraptor: "Hey everyone, look at me! I'm T-Rex! My truth is the right truth!"
T-Rex: That's not me!
T-Rex: There's degrees! Science is based on repeatable observation!
Utahraptor: Sounds like a fine line to me, my friend!
God: HEY TELL HIM ABOUT MY BUSINESS IDEA
T-Rex: Dude! I'm busy!
God: MAN
