See, the fundamental mistake here is assuming that fact-checkers are supposed to call out "both sides" equally. But this shouldn't be the case at all if one side is lying more than the other. The problem is that when you're on the side which lies way more, you must lie to yourself that your side lies way more. And the best way to do that is to blame the fact-checkers for being biased. This is bias projection 101: when you are blatantly biased, just blame the other person for being biased while pretending like you aren't.
Notice how easily the mind deceives itself in this way.

Notice the intrinsic beauty of symmetry. That's the beauty of God/Love/Infinity.
What makes a beautiful mind? Symmetry, evenness, wholeness, openness, selflessness, honesty.
What makes an ugly mind? Bias, fragmentation, closeness, selfishness, dishonesty.
What do you think would happen if you made a life-long commitment to developing a beautiful mind? What if your mind became as unbiased as gravity?
Have you ever wondered why the Earth, moon, sun, and soap bubbles are near perfect spheres? Because God pulls equally in all directions.
