There are alternative views and there are disingenuous views. Do you include the ones you believe to be disingenuous as well?

I think

"Climate change is a hoax" - Exxon consultant with a phD in communications

is a lot more useful than

"Climate change is a hoax" - Professor that the media doesn't want you to hear from

If you include disingenuous views, you can counter them, and present your evidence for why you believe them to be disingenuous. If you ignore them, they will simply take their spiel to the next news outlet until one of them gives them a platform.
