Facts, unlike opinions, only have one side. You don't get to make up your own just because you don't like reality.
Something is either true or it's false. If it's true, end of story. If it's a lie, call it out.
The media shouldn't offer the right of rebuttal to truths or facts.

The media shouldn't offer the right of rebuttal to truths or facts.
If you've invited two politicians on to discuss e.g. child poverty, and one says that it has risen under the Tories and the other that it has fallen, that's only half the story.
The other half is turning to the camera and telling viewers which of your two guests just lied.

It cannot be partisan to do so, because you're not taking sides.
Remember: there aren't two sides to facts, or to the truth. There's only one.
It should be the duty of the media to seek out the truth, to sift the facts from the lies, and to anchor all coverage around them.
