In this era of progressive propaganda (while they scream "fake news" at anything that doesn't support the progressive ideology), the left will often proclaim that (laughably) the best source is Snopes.
While I respect the work that Snopes has done in the past and attempted to achieve, it's important to recognize that aside from their left-leaning staff, they are prone to getting things wrong. And this is from hard left Huffpo so it will be difficult for progressives to label this "fake news".
"It’s a photo so poignant and so symbolic you’d be forgiven for assuming it’s faked.
And you wouldn’t be alone in that conclusion: Both Reddit and Snopes dismissed it as fake when it went viral earlier this year."
(The fact-checking website Snopes also initially deemed the photograph a fake, speculating the homeless children had been photoshopped in based on the pixelation. Snopes has since corrected itself.)
“Who can we trust?” Needham asked rhetorically, adding that Snopes was quick to admit the mistake. “I’m grateful to [Snopes] for their tireless work to debunk fake news and rumor.”
