Even though I still maintain that opinion has no right to be headlined on major news networks, he does bring some good issues up that should be questioned.

Its an editorial piece. WHy shouldn't it be aired?

Editorials get too much hype and are pushed to far by networks to increase their ratings. CNN and MSNBC, and most certainly FOX have been reaping the increased viewers they get from airing such polarized and one-sided shows. There should be editorials, yes, but having them as your network mainstay is just going to push everything out towards the extreme opinions.
