So you want a link snope or politifact link? Even if people provided citations, wouldn't you reject them because it isn't snopes or politifact ( the approved "fact" finders )?
The fact that much of the liberal media and institutions have rallied around snopes should indicate that snopes has a left bias. The fact that you ( likely a left leaning individual working in the media ) support it probably indicates it as well.
> And if you know of a fact-checking resource that has less bias, please share.
Everyone is biased. Especially when politics, money and propaganda is involved.
The issue with news media isn't facts. It's the spin on the facts.
Look at Trump backing out of the NK meeting last week - which is a fact. But look at how CNN and Foxnews spun that.
CNN : "Trump is backing out of NK meeting because he is a bumbling fool failing at NK negotiations"
Foxnews : "Trump is backing out of NK meeting because he a deal making genius who won't let NK screw over the US again."
Same "fact", but wildly different spin. Fact checking is never going to solve this issue because "facts" are only a small part of the news industry. The core of the news industry is to push propaganda and to influence the people to think a certain way.
Also, propaganda isn't necessarily a bad thing. Every country needs propaganda to exist.
