What is your opinion on snopes.com?

Reliable? Biased? I'm curious to know what others think

never heard of her, is she cute?

 

[Tard Whisperer]

pretty much this

The whole concept of fact checking in politics is an automatic gay and biased. Like its ilk, Snopes will take leftist lunacy and will credit it as true as long as a single part of it is somewhat true, while right wing talking point are treated as wrong even if they are 99.9% factual.

 

[Da Grim Reaper]

Fact checking in general is the living proof that the people are getting lazier at research.
Back in the day, people were given multiple points of view about certain events, and then those same people spent their time trying to come up with their own conclusion based in personal experiences and biases.
Nowadays, there's no such thing.
People are very guillible and believe everything they see without researching.
Hell, most browsers have a "search image to google" function, and people refuse to use it.

The best fact checking agency is your own brain. You don't need someone else to think for you, that's lazy and makes us ignorant at the end of the day.

It was great when it first started and it was just some husband and wife couple doing MythBusters like stuff and researching crazy accidents and urban legends.

Now its just some faceless arm of the propaganda machine. I doubt the original couple who made it even work on it anymore.

 

[theshitposter]

not enough nuanced for my taste but it did the task when rightoids were getting away with literally anything

 

[The Last Stand]

I think it's mostly reliable. Then, they turned biased during the Trump administration and after the George Floyd riots.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

I had heard they're biased, but I read a Snopes article deboonking that claim.

Snopes.com summed up:
"Did Joseph Robinette Biden actually sacrifice 12 year old children and older virgins to win the election and lengthen his lifespan?

FALSE

Joseph Robinette Biden never sacrificed anyone younger than 14 years old and even that only to win the election."

They say the nazis didn’t invent Fanta, because the head of the German division of Coke at the time wasn’t a member of the Nazi party

I'd sell out too tbh. Just look at it from their POV. You made some quirky web 1.0 nonsense for fun, then glowies show up and dump a billion on you for it.

Used to be a good site for gore pics and crazy death stories.

 

[L50LasPak]

Was once an interesting trivia website. I've noticed that they removed most of the interesting trivia articles, even some of their really oldschool ones, when they retooled and tried to go for a more "serious" bent.

 

[Blouie]

One of the only sites I trust tbh

 

[A-Stump]

They told me that bigfoot is a Seattle Seahawks fan and I don't think that's true at all!

They were faggots then, and they're faggots now. There are write ups about them out there. They split up and the husband got a newer model last time I checked on them, so the wife isn't involved any more. It's basically one guy saying "trust me dude".

The deboonkers have been deboonked. We should have seen this coming what with all the ridiculous Wikipedia editor drama going on way before half the US lost it's mind in 2016.
