Extending your argument about 2 viewpoints: lets go listen to what astrologers have to say about criticism from astronomers...

Exactly. This idea that for every issue there must be two valid viewpoints each with good points is fallacious: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argument_to_moderation

So let's just blindly accept the US-centric viewpoint on everything, which has been proven to be manipulated much of the time...

The idea isn't that there are 2 valid viewpoints, but that more often than not the truth lies between 2 extreme viewpoints.

Good job on arguing against a straw-man you two created...
