Is there a list of times where Snopes and Politifact have abused their fact checking? I searched and could not find one and I need one for a debate I was having regarding fake news.

I like the Larry Elder one. He says that last year 9 unarmed black people and 19 unarmed white people have been killed but we do not know the names of any of the 19.
Mostly False, because black people are killed disproportionate by absolute number of population.
Also they rated half true Obama on people not losing their health insurance
Look up snopes trying to claim Che Guevara was not racist
Can't edit titles :P so I' do not care
I'm trying to have evidence that could win an online argument. For Snopes I have that they managed to fact check the bee but I could use like more examples preferably in one location so I can easy link it.
There is some really famous Bernie fact checks. I recall one where Bernie said a blatant lie and it was "mostly true", and Trump said the opposite (the truth), snopes ranked it "mostly false", and said "while the statement is true, the intention is false"
Pretty much anything Bernie related you can bet is skewed
