Agreed.
But the other side is not holier. Let's analyze what CNN/Morgan did.
There is an outcry against Morgan and bringing Alex Jones to the interview, CNN/Morgan accomplishes these:
1. A chance to vindicate self
2. Ratings=money

They certainly did a good amount of research on him. For them to vindicate themselves, they have to present Alex Jones as a right-winger lunatic. His rants and not willing to listen to the questions did a great job of painting him as an insane wacko. Piers was also armed with another information about Jones, his take on September 11. They knew, that fact alone would paint Jones as a conspiracy-theory lunatic.
I think CNN was successful on doing this. Alex Jones doesn't think much, clearly, and he willingly went to the trap that was laid for him. Notice how Piers keeps referring it to a debate...how is that a debate when one person keeps asking a question to the other, controls when to take time-out and end the show etc?

I am not sticking up for Jones, but let's also see what is what here.
