No, not at all. In fact, it appears that ID is treated far more gently than it should be. Hopefully, the media as they learn more about Evolution and the TOE will start pointing out just how silly the whole concept of ID really is.
We have allowed farces such as Creationism and ID to get by without standing up to rigorous standards for far too long. It's about time that the intrinsic falacies of both are exposed as the frauds and absurdities they really are.

Any thoughts?
Sure.
Fairness has no meaning when it comes to science.
The real issue is that in every case where the ID proponents have stepped into the scientific arena then have been show to be totally wrong.
The problem is not media bias, it's that there is no science in ID.

This is yet another attempt to demand legitimacy without earning it. Science is not a matter of debating theories and the better debater wins. It's fine to discuss and even debate scientific issues but the result and conclusion is not based on the debate but rather external evidence. That is the area where the ID supporters are the most vulnerable. ALL of the available external evidence shows that there are only two possible conclusion...
  1. there was no designer.
  2. the designer is totally incompetent and learning on the job.
Discovery Institute does not want a fair and balanced debate. They want ligitimacy. They whine and cry like the immature children they are because anyone who actually bothers to look at the evidence simply laughs at them.
