Lester Holt, the anchor of NBC Nightly News, argued this week that news organizations and the journalists they employ should do everything they can to call out misinformation permeating the political media ecosystem and separate facts from falsehoods forcefully to combat that trend.

"I think it's become clearer that fairness is overrated," Holt said Tuesday as he accepted the Edward R. Murrow Award for Lifetime Achievement in Journalism. "Before you run off and tweet that headline, let me explain a bit. The idea that we should always give two sides equal weight and merit does not reflect the world we find ourselves in. That the sun sets in the west is a fact. Any contrary view does not deserve our time or attention."
