No: see Table 1. It's possible to write partizan stories without using false facts. The Other 98% does it. However, the right-wing sources used -- Eagle Rising, Right Wing News, Freedom Daily -- had a higher proportion of false facts than the left-wing sources.
You must surely know that many right-wing sources are notorious for lying, especially Breitbart and Infowars. Being a right-wing source shouldn't mean your lies get a free pass.
For some interesting information on how right-wing sources are obliged to lie or be rejected by their target audience, see http://uk.businessinsider.com/conservative-media-trump-drudge-coulter-2016-8?op=1?r=US&IR=T http://uk.businessinsider.com/conservative-media-trump-drudg...
