Is there a moral problem with the media playing “both sides”-ism?

It’s not objectivity to present both sides as equal, if they clearly aren’t.

But that’s the exact issue - both sides are not presenting facts. Alternative facts isn’t a thing.

Isn’t that why we are in this situation in the first place?

And maybe, or should we, clarify and separate out “media” from “news/journalism”?
