I would. Fact checking, unfortunately, isn’t what we think it is. Despite the superficial appearance, fact checking isn’t a helpful tool for determining the truth and for forming an accurate opinion. Instead, it’s actually an in/out group filter which segregates people by belief and value, while allowing each group to believe they hold the Factual High-Ground, and to claim any subsequent moral position which proceeds from being “factually correct. |

Sure it is. Not the bare conclusions viewed uncritically, but the support with references, if it exists (which in most notable fact checkers it does) absolutely is.
