As with anything else, use your intuition, read between the lines, follow the incentives/money. Based on the rating they give it does seem like a questionable source. But if you want to go down that rabbit hole of who is or who isn't a questionable source based on some fact-checker you will eventually reach the question, how do we know that our fact-checker isn't biased? who funds the fact-checker, are there any political motivations over-ruling journalistic integrity, etc. And then eventually you arrive at a fact-checker that fact-checks other fact-checkers. And you can keep going down that rabbit hole forever or you can learn to use your intuition. I will also say this:
Even a broken clock is right twice per day. And in the same vein,
Even a questionable source can write an article based on facts every now and then. |

Also they can get the Story from Fox News and Tucker Carlson, except the response will be the same. Unless the story comes from a publisher that aligns with their ideals, they won't trust it. Given the story is negative against someone they're throwing support for, they have 0 incentive to share the news. The media isn't about truth in story, it's about truth in political position.
