Factcheck.org's full name is "Annenberg Political Fact Check". Annenberg donates money to the Brady Campaign. This link at FactCheck.org is way off base:

They call the most popular hunting handgunin the world, the Thompson Contender, "uncommon". Is 500,000 copies really uncommon? They fail to mention that Ted Kennedy explicitly called to ban the .30-30, .223 and 7.62 when introducing his .30-30 ban. Instead factcheck.or defends Kennedy by saying:

We grant that it is a theoretical possibility that some future administration could interpret Kennedy’s language as banning common hunting ammunition, despite Kennedy’s clear statement of intent to the contrary. But we judge the likelihood of that to be vanishingly small,​

I explain how wrong this is on my blog here:

They quote Obama after Heller but don't mention that he refused to sign the amicus brief (signed by more politicians than any other in history) which urged the Supreme Court to rule that the individual right to bear arms is protected under the 2A. And much more

FactCheck.org is clearly compromised.

Almost true. The Annenberg Foundation is a separate entity than Fact Check...BUT they are Fact Check's main source of funding, and also donate to the Brady Campaign. Your point is still 100% valid though.

I put "foundation" in the title to try and distinguish the difference. I apologize if the content of my post was not clear. Thanks for the clarifying my imprecise post.
