some of the daily caller complaints seem to be google trying to text match the fact checking to an article and matching too liberally. i guess they are trying to do this because the url in the fact check site pointing to the original article sometimes becomes dead and maybe also because the same incorrect claim gets copy and pasted into other articles. but i'm surprised they didn't go for the simpler version of just matching by the URL to start off with. i guess if you have cool text processing / AI tools at hand then you have to use them. also, its quite possible that conservative sites aren't getting an unbalanced number of fact checks. the daily callers methodology was probably looking through a bunch of emails and tweets pointing them to fact checks on their property. they probably checked other sites by just putting random terms into a search engine. they shouldn't be surprised one of these techniques is going to generate more hits than the other :/ i'm also not sure how google could have provided this in a more fair way (ignoring the bad text matching). like a lot of the fact checking sites (snopes, polifact, etc) are considered biased by conservative sites. so there doesn't seem to be a way to provide third party fact checking without being attacked for bias.
