The question is if they are factual. If one party lies more than another, then they may be leaning towards more truthful party by definition. 3

No. " Balance" in this case is a completely artificial way of giving the impression of a lack of bias. Politicians are very good at manipulating so-called "balance" to get fringe ideas into mainstream social conversations based on the supposed notion that every issue has two sides. Some issues have many more than two sides. Some issues have multiple sides but one of those sides is so accepted and dominant that there is really only one acceptable opinion for all intents and purposes. Anyone who asks if a factchecking service has a bias is doing their due diligence. Anyone who asks for a specific left/right bias probably has an agenda and more to the point one side of the political spectrum is a lot more likely to see a political bias than the other.
