I believe you've missed the subtext. You see, in the anti-science
worldview, any and all organizations that promulgate information are
automatically assumed to be biased. There is no such thing as
knowledge for the sake of knowledge because there is no actual
knowledge. (The word "science" comes from the Greek word for
knowledge.) The right-wing propaganda factories are in the business of
attacking the existence of knowledge. They are feeding ignorance to
the ignorant, and the ignorant have an insatiable appetite for it.
They can't hear often enough that every fact is a lie, every truth is
a distortion. That's how they justify the nonsense that "creationism"
and natural selection are "equally valid viewpoints" that explain
evolution.
