All the fact checker does is tip you off. From there, it's up to you to do your own work, and it's pretty easy. So there's no need for you to simply reject the claims of fact checkers and then close your mind about it.

Anyone can claim that something is true or false. How does that make Snopes or Politifact any different or more valuable than (say) Sean Hannity or John Oliver?

It's not any different or more valuable than Sean Hannity or John Oliver. If someone tells you someone is lying, you can go check it out for yourself.

What brought fact checking into vogue in the Trump administration was the sheer volume of lies that come from the White House. It's a tidal wave of false statements. Somehow, Trump fans are able to ignore or even justify the lies. I guess the ends justify the means.
