An attempt to set the public narrative about what is true by framing individual's or organization's words in either a positive or negative light. Fact checks use labels such as "mostly true" and "mostly false" to frame equivalent statements in a positive or negative light depending on who made them. They also assume implications and intent of the speaker to frame technically correct statements as inaccurate in that the fact checker's own assumed implications were incorrect. When all else fails they use "missing context" to ignore the accuracy of the statement and interject related information to distract from it.
