The article mentions fact.check.org, however, it looks like the correct site is factcheck.org.

Article also fails to mention that using something like factcheck.org will typically get you branded a liberal.

Liberal isn't a dirty word, it's not something you're branded with.

In a large (but shrinking, year by year) part of the country, it most definitely is.

Those aren't places most people want to go, though.

That's not what he meant - he meant (I think) that a US liberal is still considered right wing in Denmark, i.e. that the Danish 'liberals' are US 'pinko commies' and US right-wingers are in Denmark either 'capitalist oppressors' or 'crazy religious extremist', or both, depending on context.
