I like Snopes for fact checking but they lost a lot of credibility when they tried to "fact check" a Babylon Bee article that was obviously satire. (Babylon Bee is clearly labeled as satire and humor, sort of like The Onion or Duffel Blog.) Later Snopes tried to partially walk it back, but unfortunately the whole incident gave justification to those who claim that fact checkers are biased and pushing a left-wing agenda on Facebook.
