We hear your feedback regarding a segment on this week's "America This Week." At no juncture are we aligning with or endorsing the viewpoints of Dr. Mikovitz or Mr. Klayman or endorsing the "Plandemic" documentary. Full stop.

We also interviewed a medical expert who debunked Dr. Mikovitz’s claims as conspiracy theories. We’re a supporter of free speech and a marketplace of ideas and viewpoints, even if incredibly controversial.

This is what’s known as “false balance,” in which conspiracy theory bullshit is “balanced” by a perfunctory denial from an expert or skeptic. It only serves to reinforce the message what there might be something to the conspiracy theory BS. It’s highly irresponsible.

Yes, it does. The other East is probably the more common variant, which is why, after thinking about this a bit more, I think I should probably refer to this as the token skeptic trope rather than false balance.
