But the media swears by them. – small dead animals

Snopes, not so transparent. It’s always the same; hire partisans, get partisan.
They should have stuck with Nigerian email scams and urban legends.

Snopes really was good on the urban legend thing. As is really obvious, truth is no longer their thing. Maintaining the international socialist narrative is what they are about – fake news. 10 or 20 years ago, I went to Snopes repeatedly to find the truth and eventually I figured out that they didn’t offer it.

I don’t doubt that Snopes still tells the truth sometimes, but I can’t rely on them to tell the truth any time. Like the rest of the news media.

It is just an urban legend that Snopes is a fact checking site
Right up there with alligators in the sewers.

Snopes is just another way for our progressive comrades to inform taxpayers, that they (the taxpayer) are too stupid to process information without the progresssive slander.

I think its very telling that they did not make a mistake, admit it and correct it. They made a mistake, covered it up when people pointed it out and then yelled “squirrel!”
This is exactly how one destroys a brand based on trustworthy fact checking. It only takes one or two of these evasions to obliterate 20 years of reputation.

Jeezus, people are biassed, who da thunk. Humans look at the world though lens of their own bias. And we ALL do that!!

My recent reading of Snopes is that they clearly go out of their way to “prove” everything right wing or conservative as WRONG … and everything left wing or liberal as RIGHT (if not SAINTLY).
Most of their “proofs” read like a 5-graders excuse for why their homework was late

Snopes still shows the story as false, citing the portion of the speech the Dems refused to stand for was Trump claiming a successful raid in Yemen, and was not an applause directed at Carryn Owens. Snopes had lost all credibility a long time ago when confirmed issues with the Dems were completely ignored and rumours of any Republicans were greatly exaggerated while carefully listing them as unconfirmed.
