Exactly.
Why should ANYONE have to pretend to give an ear to somebody who is clearly insane?
It’s not “getting the other sides fair view”, it’s talking to an antideluvian moron.

Exactly- this is the same point that comes up with the media’s treatment of intelligent design. There are not always two sides of a story, and science is one of them. This would be no different than these reporters being at a Discovery Institute press conference. Would we expect them to treat the DI as though they had any legitimacy? And when the press does give science deniers respect- isn’t that part of the problem?
