Each day Media Bias Fact Check selects and publishes fact checks from around the world. We only utilize fact-checkers that are either a signatory of the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN) or have been verified as credible by MBFC. Further, we review each fact check for accuracy before publishing. When appropriate we explain the rating and/or offer our own rating if we disagree with the fact-checker. (D. Van Zandt)

Left vs. Right Bias: How we rate the bias of media sources
The fact you use Politifact (which is clearly biased to the left) kind of negates your ratings. I would suggest you stay away from Snopes (which does the same thing) and Politifact. Do your own research as they are entirely unreliable.
