I find it really obnoxious when these articles are really quite ideological and opinionated, but still use the verbage of "checking the facts". The thing I most take issue with is if something is "mostly false" because a public figure looked at an issue in a way that you don't think is the best way for society to look at an issue. That is an opinion, and to call it "fact checking" is pure ideology.

And that is not to say that opinions are trivial or personal observations, less important than facts. There's a lot of bullshit in politics, and you'd be absolutely right and doing a service to call it all out as bullshit, and give your reasoning.
