A side of the truth is just a part of it
Not really. The way I see it (and what I meant), is that although truthful facts can be presented in a way that favours one side, the presentation does not change the value of truth itself. Claiming that "truth has a side" is an attempt to disqualify information because you don't like it, and should not be accepted as valid reasoning by well-thinking people.
publishing dirt on one but not the other is helping the other person -- taking a side, IOW.
Then the publisher has a side, not the truth itself.
