Most Republicans Say Fact Checkers Are Biased

A new Pew Research survey finds 70% of Republicans say fact-checkers tend to favor one side, compared with 29% of Democrats — a 41 percentage point difference. Conversely, 69% of Democrats say fact-checkers deal fairly with all sides, a view shared by just 28% of Republicans.

Independents are more split, with 47% saying fact-checkers tend to favor one side and 51% saying they deal fairly with all sides.
