It's not just about facts: Democrats and Republicans have sharply different attitudes about removing misinformation from social media::One person’s content moderation is another’s censorship when it comes to Democrats’ and Republicans’ views on handling misinformation.

third party that is as not biased as possible

First of all, humans inherently have bias. It's literally inevitable. What's more important is what your biases are, how aware of them you are and how they affect your reasoning and openness to new information that might conflict.

Besides, not all biases are created equal and not all biases are completely unreasonable.

Some people are biased against minority groups while others are biased against authority figures. Some are biased in favor of billionaires, others against them. Some will not vote for a candidate that receives corporate PAC money, others will not cosponsor a bill unless the PACs are on board

What a third party needs is to be steeped in bias against corruption and demagoguery and in favor of transparency.
