debunking "debunkers"

Generally, fact checking an debooonking is fine, IMO.
Both sides should do it to each other.

It only became fake and gay when partisan organizations were cited as arbiters of truth, the other site defamed and canceled, and generally strong-arming a consensus to force issues into the Zeitgeist.

Remember, nobody is objective. There are people who try to be objective, but you can only trust singular people with that, not organisations.
I tend to trust people more that wear their biases on their sleeve, because they are open with it.
Beware of people who claim to be objective but always bat for the same political team, they are demagogues and charlatans.

The issue is that we're in a post truth world. Very little of the data regarding any political topic can be trusted (and this already encroached into science with healthcare and climate change). Sometimes even things that seem objective doesn't reflect reality (how many times people here said that X event will fuck the economy for good with compelling argument just for the feds to print more money and things keep on trucking?).

We're at a point that personal anecdotes are better arguments because that's the one thing the elites can't fake.
 
With the internet and all information being readily available at anytime I think it's reasonable to ask people for a basic source if they're claiming a fact.

Fact checkers though are dumb and have lost all credibility by being obviously political. If they don't like someone they're go "Mostly false because akschually the thing they said is basically true but I don't like it."

Also remember with Trump when fact checkers started "fact-checking" statements by him that were obvious hyperbole? Like when Trump hosted the Clemson team and stated they had hamburgers "stacked a mile high" and WaPo decided to point out that there were in fact not enough burgers to reach a mile.
