Snopes is... - SunsetBengal - 12-22-2016
..more of a joke than anyone could have possibly imagined. Seems the people behind the site are full of sex, lies, and biased "fact checkers".

I wonder if Zuckerberg will now reconsider his recent decision to have Snopes moderate fake news on Facebook?
RE: Snopes is... - SunsetBengal - 12-22-2016
And, none of this to be found on the FB "sidebar"..

Sounds like some rightwingers don't like having their facts checked.

If you're going to check the "facts", at least be credible and unbiased..
RE: Snopes is... - GMDino - 12-22-2016
Oh my. A divorced couple fighting.
Clearly they must be "biased".
Or is it the sex and the escorts?
No way they can be accurate if they have sex with escorts.

Stow it, Dino. I saw you waiting, until someone else posted first.. Doesn't take much research to find the political leanings of either of the founders..

You saw me waiting?
I clicked on this thread...opened the article in another tab (did you see that too?) and read it before responding.
Nonetheless the "political leanings" of either founders was not an issue in that article.
Carry on...

Yes, because checking facts anymore clearly shows a bias thus leading someone to question the credibility of the factchecker.

He sees every "stroke" you make.
Snopes has been mildly questionable on some things, for a bit.
I'm not overly knowledgeable about it, but a friend of mine blamed the juice.
I thought O.J. was in prison though ?

I know I always get a chuckle out of those that quote Snopes as a source to discredit something from the internet; as their source is always something from the internet.

Sounds like you don't understand how to use sources then.

I have been told that statements from an ex during divorce proceedings are definitive proof. That's why Bannon is an anti-Semite. #fakenews #incosistent

That makes sense, B-zona. Why would these guys be checking facts if they didn't have an agenda?
We don't need fact checkers. We just need people to all get on the right side and stop complaining!

Hard to avoid that. But it's not "mildly questionable" that will upset most people.
It's the spot on de-bunking.

If they are on the internet, they are all the same.
RE: Snopes is... - Bengalzona - 12-23-2016
The real fraud in this article is...
... the wife definitely is not the same woman in the advertisement!
Then again, who is to say that anything in this article is factually correct. I'm pretty sure it won't pass the "Snopes Test".
