We also rate them Mixed for factual reporting due to poor sources and complete lack of transparency...).And then a fact check on your fact checker returns this (from Wikipedia): "According to Daniel Funke and Alexios Mantzarlis of the Poynter Institute, "Media Bias/Fact Check is a widely cited source for news stories and even studies about misinformation, despite the fact that its method is in no way scientific."
And Wikipedia is reliable? It even had articles warning about its own shortcomings.
Basically you can find something to support anything you want to say. I prefer well known science publications that have reputation and standing in their fields. I do find Media Bias/Fact Check to be a reasonable resource when, like all things, it is used in conjunction with other knowledge/experience and/or has a view that is backed up by other sources. The article you quoted is interesting and has some good food for thought but starts to fall apart when looked at critically.
