I miss out on a lot of misinformation because try to read only reliable sources. I use RSS to get a feed from a fact checking site just to know what I am missing out on.

You mean to know which stories they choose to fact check. Just like media (necessarily) choosing which stories to report and which to ignore or downplay, it's all too easy to turn fact checking itself into propaganda, despite treating each individual story with full even-handed honesty.
