Eek. Those fact-checking sites are staffed by underpaid, inexperienced, 20-somethings with their own ideological bent. These young staffers aren't doing any investigative work - they just sit there and google stuff. Not to mention the fact that those sites have the same advertising pressures as other sites (incentive is for click-bait articles). Let's not go overboard with treating them as some sort of a gold-standard.
