The site doesn't seem to have a political bent; they appear to be pretty much what they claim to be in their home page (see below). It's pretty much a one-man operation, and he says that while Snopes and Hoax-Slayer are very good, the main problem is that they are only in English.
From wandering around the site they seem to be operating along the same lines as Snopes or Hoax Slayer - reasoned articles debunking hoaxes, urban legends, and conspiracy theories.
I don't know what kind of traffic they get; their forums aren't super-active, but there is a decent amount of content on the site
From their page (translated to English):
Why the Hoax-Pointer?
It is important to educate yourself well before you accept information for truth, and this spread. For that reason, there are also plenty of websites on the Internet that attempt to refute false information and to inform people as accurately as possible. Some well-known - and reliable - websites are www.snopes.com and www.hoax-slayer.com , although there are many other "hoax busters" and "myth busters".
Why the Hoax-Pointer, in addition to many other websites? Most of these websites are exclusively in English, which of course in itself is a good thing since it most of the world can be achieved. Nevertheless, there are still people whose knowledge of the English language is not as strong, and it is unfortunate that warnings you ignore them. Moreover, not all hoaxes English only: there are also many cases in English, that escape because of the language difference on the radar of Snopes.com and Hoax-Slayer.com. The Hoax-Pointer we also try to intercept it, although we will of course send out warnings of foreign language hoaxes.
