Snopes Fails to Debunk Fake News

[AnCap'n_Murica]

Snopes, one of the new arbiters of Fake News for Facebook, has been utterly remiss in its fact-checking duties by failing to report the false allegation The Russians hacked into Vermont’s power grid — perhaps because the original claim appeared in the Washington Post.


But for whatever reason, Snopes — whose CEO David Mikkelson stands accused by ex-wife Barbara Mikkelson of embezzling company money to hire prostitutes — simply didn’t bother to report on the Post’s dangerous assertion Russian state actors had tampered with critical infrastructure.

Looks like the Dominatrix who runs Snopes has fallen asleep at the switch, as it were

National Enquirer and the Onion.com are quickly becoming more reliable than WaPo.

I can't believe anyone would pay for WaPo's content.

When ever someone posts something from Snopes, I feel the need to fact check it. I need to "snopes" Snopes.

The Snopes-hysteria from the Trump-snowflakes is funny.

Why are they waving their tiny fists, flapping their limp wrists, and declaring Snopes now their enemy? Because Snopes dares point out that their DearLeader lies a lot.

All cultists tend to act like that, not just the Trump-cultists. Anyone who points out the cult is lying is instantly declared to be an official EnemyOfTheCult.

I'm not a Trumpster and Snopes is still not reliable. Their biases have been exposed.

But thanks for playing.
