[…] false balance is the journalistic practice of giving equal weight to both sides of a story, regardless of an established truth on one side. And many people are fed up with it. […] They want some real answers. […] It’s all a part of a movement to present the truth, not just conflicting arguments leading to confusion. […] Journalists need to make every effort to get beyond the spin and help readers know what to believe, to help them make their way through complicated and contentious subjects.
— Margaret Sullivan, Defensora del Lector, The New York Times.
