Read: fact-leaning bias

If the facts support leftism, you should be strongly in favour of a completely neutral retelling of the facts and let reality speak for itself.
Which I am. As is implicit in my comment, for those informed enough to interpret it accurately.
But when articles written about right-leaning figures are filled with condemnation instead of dry facts, while articles about left-leaning figures are laudatory instead of drily factual, it creates the opposite effect.

I'm not talking about Nazis, just like how I'm also not talking about Marxists. I'm talking about Western politicians within the current Overton window.

That is if you redefine what the words 'fact' or 'fact-checking' mean in the style of Orwellian newspeak.

Actually, no. Nice try, though!
