Why is SNOPES considered a reliable source? Why? Who runs it? How do we know they are unbiased?

[rightwinger]

Snopes has been around since 1995! Just looked that up. I've never found them to be biased either way.

The truth hurts

That is why conservatives hate it so

Snopes is a joke site, run by a dominatrix

I know for a fact that one of the founders dumped his wife for a porn star once he got money...but that really doesn't matter other than being interesting.

The site is not unbiased. That is clear.

Our President is married to a porn star....but that really doesn't matter other than being interesting.

Is Snopes biased- or is it just that right wing lies are so much more available for Snopes to refute?

Has anyone fact checked Nancy Pelosi?

I believe she said, " Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States"

Did she lie?

LOL

A whole lot of people including myself said that Donald Trump was not going to be President.

We werent' lying- we made a seriously wrong prediction.

Lying is when the person knowingly tells a falsehood- like these examples:


There was "serious voter fraud" in Virginia.
— Donald Trump on Sunday, November 27th, 2016 in a tweet.

Donald Trump
Says a tweet he sent out "wasn’t saying, ‘check out a sex tape.’ It was just ‘take a look at" the background of Alicia Machado.

— PolitiFact National on Sunday, October 9th, 2016


Hillary Clinton
Says, regarding the presence of classified information in her email, FBI Director James "Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I've said is consistent with what I have told the American people."

Your circular lunacy noted.

 

[paperview]

Case in point: Debunking a story that makes Trump look bad. Not that it has any special significance, but it is the top story on the site right now.

FACT CHECK: Trump Tower Billboard in Mumbai

So? It's an image spreading around on social media.

Some people wondered if it was real or photoshopped.

That's part of what they do. Authenticate.

Is your metric does it make "X" look bad, therefore why?

I guess I shouldn't have edited out all the previous posts, but I hate the super long threads. I was responding to someone that said they only debunked stories about liberals.

Your talking to yourself is noted.

No I was clearly talking to you, but that has concluded.

I'm calling out SNOPES for leaning left. The owners of the site are biased and it is NOT an unbiased and reliable news source.

Standard cultist behavior.

That is, when someone points out the claims of the cultist are crap, the cultist simply ignores the unpleasant facts, and instead claims that the person who debunked their nonsense is part of a conspiracy against them.

If you have a problem with something Snopes said, point out where they got it wrong. Being they back up their claims with solid data, I doubt you'll be successful. Or, just whine about how butthurt you are that reality has such a strong liberal bias.

It looks to me that Snopes has been co-opted by the CIA. Now that we know that Barrypuppet's birth certificate was definitely a forgery, I have yet to see Snopes backtrack but that is but one of many things that they mix in partial truths and a lot of disinformation. I certainly don't look to them to validate or verify a story. I have many different sources that I use and I have become very proficient at sniffing out disinformation and spend as much time vetting information as I do digesting it.

Uh.....how do we "know" this?

Yeah, the lamestream media accidentally forgot to cover this a little over two weeks ago....imagine that???

Probably got crowded out by all those Lord Lucan sightings.....

Barrypuppet's birth certificate was a fraudulent piece of prose........just like those dastradly "conspiracy theorists" said it was.
