Perhaps you should think of your tilt when you see ideology in fact checkers

That's an awfully convenient way to disregard literally any and all scepticism.
Just over the last month the the lab leak theory has gone from conspiracy to a mainstream possibility and the facts in Assange case turned over their head. In any political matter, facts take ages to establish and sometimes facts themselves are no more than uneasy consensus.
When I'm personally invested, It takes me days to verify facts despite all the resources at my disposal and even then I leave some space to have my mind changed. In a world where all of NYT, CNN and Fox are doing their best to destroy public trust (some more than others), faith in reporting is rather hard to come by.
If you think underpaid faceless social media community fact checkers have either the ability or the moral purity to identify and report facts then, then I must regretfully refer to such an opinion as naive.
Almost all their debunking is "BJP propaganda is false." That's fair, but they barely even touch similar propaganda being spread by opposition.
it is a classic case of lying by omission. Especially when you call yourself a 'fact checker'.
Why does a party that apparently enjoys extreme popularity need such high amounts of fake news? The fact that you see propaganda in a fake news fighter and not the fake news shows you’re a fish in the an ocean of fake news.
