**Correction (Not a big one, just a fun fact): I did more research after this video because it didn't sit well with me not knowing the origin of false equivalence, and I wanted to know who I had to thank for this nonsense. I still don't really know because the first recorded use I could find was in 1990 by Noam Chomsky, but the term somehow went from a complaint that news is not balanced to being a "logical fallacy," which it still is not; and, even Wikipedia disambiguates "false equivalence" and "false balance," treating them as different concepts. So, for all intents and purposes, false equivalence is not and has never been a thing. I might come back later to look through the history of how false equivalence took on this meaning, but thought I'd share for now.
