If there is an equally well regarded academic who holds that contrasting view, then yes I agree with you have that lecture otherwise there is an appearance of favoritism. But none of us should feel obliged to conjure that lecture if no such academic exists.

    Ahh, yes. Because policing themselves did such wonders for the industry? Not to mention, such a great job of securing the trust of the population. No dice.

I don't think facts are subject to a fairness doctrine. You'll find basically every academic in existence saying Trump is a fascist because he is observably so based on statements he and those around him make, and policies he enacted. The question then is how is it not a first amendment violation for the state to prohibit a speaker presenting factual and evidence-based research.
