Nothing personal, but I would contest this point of view. In fact, I've already contested it and come up with a name for it on previous occasions: the Centrist Fallacy. The truth does not necessarily lie exactly or even approximately between two opposing viewpoints: sometimes one side is better documented; sometimes neither side is well supported and the truth lies not between them but outside them; sometimes one side is more open about its biases than the other; sometimes one side is even, whether deliberately or not, outright lying or making absurd claims not supported by the evidence. So, no, the truth is not necessarily a compromise between those sides.

I say this as a matter of principle, but I think it holds true here as well.
