  1. Fake balance otherwise known as false equivalence is a serious issue. People think "unbiased" means both-sideism. But there is nothing between true and untrue. Things can only be one of it. Example for the problem: 99 scientists think climate change is real 1 doesn't. To pretend balance they bring up 1 Pro and the only one Contra. For viewers this looks like 50:50 but it isn't. False equivalence can be dangerous because it allows minority opinions to appear larger than justified.
