As long as the so-called «Fact checker» not all false reports, i.e. also those of the government and press canards, they are neither neutral, nor serious and certainly not independent. This is also the case with one of the very few Media Switzerland, the Infosperber, very aptly recognized:
“Fact-checking” organizations have become an industrial complex of Censorship Governments and corporations remain unmolested.

In the age of social media, ever faster information transfer and the increasing influence of PR-driven information and war propaganda, independent fact-checking organizations would be extremely valuable institutions. But almost all of these “fact check” organizations now work in the service of powerful state and corporate interest groups and feign false credibility.
They have always described themselves as independent. Their actions do not demonstrate independence, but rather targeted opinion-making, i.e. propaganda.

I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
