You can always tell how weak minded the poster is by their contempt for fact checking. Cursed with shit educations that leave them bereft of critical thinking skills and susceptible to laughable conspiracy theories, they're just f'ing helpless.

Facts do not lean to either direction. They are just facts.

It might FEEL like they lean left if you don't like what you hear. It might FEEL like you are being attacked if they repeatedly disagree with your preconceived notions.

If you think that any fact checking site is telling a lie, then simply present the evidence indicating that they've lied. You'd be doing everybody a great service. I would be very interested in hearing about ANY lie promoted by a major fact checking site. Go ahead, I'll wait.

When I have resorted to looking at a fact check web site, I tend to look at as many as I can find (usually including ThruthOrFiciton, PolitiFact, FactCheck.org, Snopes, etc.) . Then I compare what they ALL say to what I see in the media (including both CNN and Fox). What I find interesting is that they ALL tend to agree. Clearly CNN and Fox will phrase things in a slanted manner and may reach differing conclusions based on the same core facts, but they all tend to agree on the FACTS at hand.

So if you think the fact checking sites are full of lies, you may want to cast a critical eye on whatever is giving you differing info because they appear to be the one blowing smoke up your ass.
