Trump made an unsubstantiated claim about the amount of voter fraud in mail in ballots. 
Twitter then listed a wide variety of articles on the topic.  There is no evidence to support his claim - so the 5 articles I clicked on simply listed all of the states that have been using mail-in ballots for some time now and the percentages of people in those states that used the service.  Most mentioned that there were no large instances of voter fraud reported in those states or something to that effect. 

What is your assertion here?

That the "Fact checkers" have an implicit bias that causes them to only "fact check" with sources that support their bias against the President's statements.

And who is their leader?

This guy.

Twitter is not actively doing the fact checking. Of course they have to determine which tweets are not supported by facts, but they aren't telling users that the tweet is wrong, merely encouraging them to be informed on the topic. 
So - could they be biased in which tweets they single out? Yes, Time will tell. It's only just begun. 

Regarding the articles linked under Trump's tweet:  Did you read them? 
 There was quite a spectrum provided to choose from.  None of them can support the president's assertion of wide-spread mail-in fraud because there simply is no evidence to support it. The fact that they provide information that seems to at least somewhat contradict the president's assertion doesn't make them biased.  There just is no information to support him on the subject while info does exists that suggests he's being misleading.
