Have you ever posted something to social media or RP, only to find out that what you posted was untrue or partially untrue? I found myself having to go back to try to undo the post with those I had shared it with or a general posting. The challenge is that there were people who never saw the correction, so they posted it to their family and friends, thus the untruth continued to spread, but it was never the intention to share something that wasn't true.
Whether you are a Democrat, Independent, Republican, Liberal, Centrist or Conservative, it has likely happened to you or someone you know. It's not what the vast majority wants to happen on something shared.
This site is a great tool in helping you determine if something is likely true, untrue or partially true. It also provides you with a Bias meter, Left to Right and in-between. It will provide a rating for Accuracy in reporting as well. The info below is about an organization that the vast majority on RP are familiar...Military Times. (Note: I could not get the actual colorful diagram of the findings to post) As you will see, Military Times is rated Least Biased and their Credible Factual Reporting rating is HIGH. Military Times is among the most credible media resources out there. I was very happy to see that Military Times was among the most credible media sources.
I encourage you to go out and visit the site. If you do, I hope you find it helpful. I would expect that you will be surprised by what you find, as I was in the beginning. I check media sources, but also individual stories as well. It helps me avoid perpetuating stories that are not completely 'up to snuff,' so to speak.
Military Times - Least Biased - Credible Factual Reporting: High - Credible - Reliable
LEAST BIASED
These sources have minimal bias and use very few loaded words (wording that attempts to influence an audience by using appeal to emotion or stereotypes). The reporting is factual and usually sourced. These are the most credible media sources.
Overall, we rate Military Times Least Biased based on balanced news reporting and High for factual reporting due to proper sourcing of information and a clean fact check record.

Mediabiasfactcheck is itself a biased source. They lean pretty decently to the left, and skew all of their ratings - both for bias and credibility - in line with that.
Compare their ratings with those of http://www.allsides.com
You'll see the discrepancy pretty quick.
Note that allsides has fact checker and bias raters from left, right, and center, AND they explain their ratings and how they got them.

I took a quick look. It is set up differently, but does give you three perspectives. It also ranks the source, which is helpful. Thanks for sharing. Perhaps between MBFC and AllSides, it will encourage others to check out what they are reading and/or being told. Whichever one works for a given individual should be helpful. I have not been exposed to negative feedback on MBFC, and what I have checked out on my own seemed to be okay, including Bias ratings. It is impossible to completely remove all bias from any of these sites I guess. Regardless, whichever one selects to use for his/her purposes would be better than depending on what we see today in print or digital form as being true. I think the military community by and large would be Center to Right, but certainly there are those who lean to the left who have served and our currently serving. Thanks again for sharing. I hope others will look at both sites.
