MintPress News (MPN) is an American far-left news website founded and edited by Mnar Adley (née, Muhawesh) which was launched in January 2012. It covers political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. Editorially, MintPress News supports Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, and the governments of Russia, Iran, and Syria. It opposes the governments of Israel and Saudi Arabia, and reports geopolitical events from an anti-Western perspective. In one contentious article, MintPress News falsely asserted that the Ghouta chemical attack in Syria was perpetrated by rebel groups rather than by the Syrian government.

Described as a conspiratorial website, MintPress News publishes disinformation and anti-Jewish conspiracy theories, according to researchers at Rutgers University and others.

Therefore the fact-checking organizations are not funded by Washington?

which, as far as I could see, none were mentioned in said segment, so, no.

You missed something: https://youtu.be/mb_RrC2F5bM?t=82. Patches of Aidar, Dnipro-1, Donetsk and Azov prominently displayed in the background. You can see Azov goons at: https://youtu.be/mb_RrC2F5bM?t=94.
