No. libertyforall.

Ron is arguing that, at least in the case of global warming, journalists are not doing their job unless they present the views of the deniers.

I believe Ron is being disingenuous (see my post above). I believe he would argue differently if the subject were astrology versus astronomy, or flat earth versus spheroid earth, or maybe even science versus young-earth creationism.

That is, he is not really for dissent per se. Just for skepticism about global warming, on which he "has no strong views" himself.
