"Fact-checking" is itself vulnerable to political bias. Outside of the truly ludicrous (i.e. things like "pizzagate", and all sorts of conspiracy theories in general), I don't think you can call people 'irrational actors' merely for seeking alternative sources of fact-checking and "non-fake" news media. Even the New York Times acknowledges that there is such a thing as an "intellectual dark web", which goes to prove that "information anarchy" is occasionally useful and worthwhile.
