Both-siderism
(aka bothsideism) Ministry of Truth spokespersons fail the public when they appear to be objectively fair and balanced in their reporting, since the other side is wrong and it is harmful to criticize the ruling party. Modern journalists should prevent unapproved new (mis)information from being reported, should try to focus on destroying the opposition, and shouldn't balance their reporting with the outright, calculated lies of the enemies of truth.
