No it is just not worth it.
From what I have read so far it is next to impossible to fight a religion-like bias that is based more on belief/prejudice than anything else with factual sound logic.
There are people who are prone to fall for polemics for a lack of (self-)critical thinking. Self-critical... because you will always have to ask yourself, am I just biased now... do I really have all the news input (e.g. read left AND right media sources) to form my own sound oppinion.
If you want to fight against the ever lobbying presence of the guys in the corvette forum or FOX (and so on) this will be a fulltime job, since you will never get the underlying bias away.
Besides, most of the people on this planet are biased towards something anyway, and one bias can counterbalance another bias, that gives room for those people who want to belong to neither side.
