Unless all you want to read are from sites that buttress your own prejudices, you should try this site out. It ranks the 10 best “fact-checking” web sites and offers a brief description of each. Most of the sites listed are non-partisan, too.

Well, I looked at it and viewed it's opinion on several sites including Snopes (least biased), Just Facts (slightly to moderately conservative), Amnesty International (least biased), Southern Poverty Law Center (slight to moderate liberal bias). I browsed through the list of "Conspiracy-P***********e" entries. And my opinion is that the website is doing a really good job of shifting many things "right" by degrees.———————

Snopes is "least biased" along with Amnesty International? Horse Hockey!
SPLC is "slightly to moderately liberal"?
It's interesting that when I look at sites rated conservative and there seems to be less "fudging" going on, since they've already been identified as conservative. But liberal sites are definitely rated centrist (least biased) when they are in my estimation slightly to moderately liberal, and some of those that are rated slightly to moderately liberal are decidedly socialist in nature.
So, I'm back to my original opinion. When you consider who pretty much owns the traffic on the internet and how they lean, is it any wonder that conservatives need to dig harder to find what they're looking for? If you haven't yourself seen the bias, you may not realize how easy it is for our liberal friends to find "facts" that are pushed to the top of Google searches so they don't have to read through 20 articles in order to find the one that supports their argument.
Examples:

There are so many more, and you'll note a couple of the sources should be acceptable to anyone who is "slightly to moderately liberal". I myself have seen actual examples on Google of their hard left bias (like when you googled Trump or Hillary pre Nov 2016). Or when they stopped showing links for certain firearm videos or links for shopping for firearms and accessories. And there are literally hundreds of instances of conservative users or sites being shadow banned or shut-down while liberal sites are allowed to post very objectionable information and opinions.
And heading into 2020 things are going to get worse before they get better simply because of who controls things. So buckle up friends and take p***e in your willingness to dig harder for your info. It's just another way to show the left that we mean what we say and we walk the walk!
