i'm working with the json callback, specifically it's use with  
ANSIBLE\_STDOUT\_CALLBACK. it's logging all it's output to json, so  
that's great, but it also includes all the gathering facts play data  
play as well. is there a way to turn off that output in the json  
data? i don't want to turn off fact gathering, just it's output in  
json.

That is up to the plugin itself. You could modify it to filter them out.
