You've fallen into the Catch-22 Liberal trap of relying on supposed fake "fact checkers" to somehow verify their fake stories.
So who is checking the fact checkers then? What are the fact checkers qualifications and methods of fact checking? not very rational thinking to immediately omit those.
The mediabiasfactcheck website was founded in 2015 by Dave Van Zandt whose only qualification is a degree in communication.
According to "Columbia Journalism Review" as published by Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism the site has been described as a "amateur attempt at categorizing media bias and Van Zandt as an "armchair media analyst."
The Poynter Institute stated "Media Bias/Fact Check" is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."

Rather than thinking for yourself and verifying if statements are correct in stories you rely on another unreliable source to verify those stories. This is the equivalent of having someone come up to you on the street and tell you they have a nice bridge to sell you and you make the purchase after their good friend vouches for them.
Your statement is an embodiment of a 1980s episode of Max Headroom, which predicted a dystopian future dominated by large evil media corporations.
Your statement is equivalent of user gidgetpup5 providing a link to a BusinessInsider article that uses the Washington Post as a source. Both are Liberal fake news outlets commonly recycled in Yahoo's news feed.
Not very rational thinking but more reminiscent to Trump Derangement Syndrome.
What do so called "Trumpers" and FOX News have to do this?
I am independent voter who thinks for himself.
I am many other users of Yahoo are quite aware of their Liberal bias based upon their day to day news feed of factually wrong stories. Their news feeds favor other Liberal news outlets pushing similar fake news stories. They recycle each other stories as the major source of income for all these outlets is from the ads which appear within the articles they post. Conservative outlets are usually only shown in their news feeds when they can someone be twisted to a Liberal narrative such as taking quotes out of context.
I and many others were the counter voice to these false stories. I and many others opposed to fake news utilized the comments section below each article to provide information and links to sites which entirely disproved such stories.
The problem is the majority of comments often found in each article's comments section went against Yahoo's narrative, thus exposing readers to the falsehoods in Yahoo's stories. Yahoo couldn't have that happening before an election so on June 30, 2020, Yahoo suspended the comments section below each article and placed the following statement with a button to open a survey.
This is called interference in a election.
This is why Yahoo's and many other internet company's liability limits under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act need to be revoked. I urge everyone to contact the White House and their Congressional representative to revoke liability limits under this act.
I maintain a personal library of various counterpoint statements and links to sites disproving statements commonly recycled in such fake news articles. Unlike you I don't use other unreliable biased sources of information as a supposed source.
Here is a rare Washington Post article that praises Trump efforts to solve the abuse of the UPU program. Of course what the article fails to disclose is that Amazon was a major abuser of this program, having copied eBay's 2010 groundbreaking effort to scam the system. The Washington Post had previously run stories against such actions; however, Amazon, unlike its tiny rival eBay, will be in a much better position to adjust to the rate increases for their Chinese vendors.
You'll need to access the article via Google's cache as directly going to the article requires a subscription.

As to your claims that all the fact checkers are liberals, well maybe that's because liberals are thinkers and search out the facts. They are not closed minded lemmings following their leader off a cliff. That has always worked out well hasn't it (The Branch Davidians, The Peoples Temple, Heaven's gate). Heck they don't even have to be suicidal there are groups like the Kingston's who amassed $511 million while those at the bottom of their cult gladly lived like slaves to the top. Don't even get me started on creeps like Warren Jeffs.
