If "your side" is being loose with facts, then pointing that out isn't just providing ammunition to "the other side". Arguments are not soldiers you need to support unconditionally to secure victory for "your side" in the war of public opinion. Pointing out when "your side" is wrong will hopefully help it make better arguments in the future.
