According to Professor Jay Rosen, when journalists adopt a neutral style of reporting that gives equal emphasis to two sides of an issue when one side is objectively false, this is known as .

the view from nowhere

Explanation:

"View from nowhere" occurs when a journalist adopts neutrality in reporting which results to misinforming or creating an impression to the audience that what is false has equal correctness to what is valid and true. This act of neutrality in reporting by the journalist can make the audience or the reader unable to evaluate the competing facts.

Journalists in a bid to avoid accusations as a result of "bias" (a truthful position) adopt the "view from nowhere". This act was greatly criticized by Jay Rosen, who was a professor of journalism.
