nye and tyson are not considered "scientific atheist televangelists" by anyone who even casually researches their qualifications and temperaments. both are products of pop culture and are treated as such. both face heavy mockery in less PC social networks frequented by folk that have relatively scientific mindsets(for eg /sci/).Both make heavily egregious comments that are forgiven by their fans coz everyone makes a mistake sometimes.
as for the second part of your argument, yes HN does get some ignorant arguments but that is the price of becoming more popular - you attract people from all segments of the technically inclined population.
this is yet another "the popular thing of the day is actually bad coz human beings are stupid and do not seek out opposing viewpoints" argument thread
