Hillary Clinton, how do you lie to us? Let me count the ways

Liberal fact checkers are providing cover for Clinton’s lies. Much of the media’s so-called fact checking is more like Media Matters efforts to propagandize for the Democrats than something Snopes has had a reliable record of - refuting urban myths.
At the recent Presidential Candidates’ Debate, there was considerable “fact-checking” going on by liberal media sources, where their fact-checking included as much or more opinionating about their disagreements with Donald Trump than actual referenced facts to dispute what he said. Of course they left out numerous glaring lies by Hillary Clinton, as well.
About Snopes... Man, I hate to say this, but I have some really bad news for you. Snopes is just as bogus (on politics) as any other left-leaning ‘outlet’.
Many years ago, when “snopes” was in its infancy, I began to notice something about them.
In matters of History, Urban Myth, and easily verified rumors, they were an excellent resource. They quickly gained a reputation of integrity based upon this.
However, from the beginning, in matters of Faith, Folk Wisdom, or reports of the miraculous, they always seemed to take the opposite view, debunking even stories that could not be verified one way or the other.
Then, these denials started carrying a sort of left-wing favoritism. I could not put my finger on it, but I gradually stopped using snopes as the “go-to” place for fact checking.
Years later, I found out that they were just a couple of people who were in the tank for Obama.
I hadn’t been there in years, but that merely confirmed my earlier suspicions.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
The news media and entertainment industry are in need of a monopoly busting and RICO investigating. And those investigations should be extended right into the so called schools of journalism.

Snopes is biased and dumb. No one should rely on it.
oh wait...
The so-called “fact-checkers” are just other employees of the Ministry of Propaganda.
It is still propaganda.
However . . .
IOW, it’s like Wikipedia - or The New York Times. Anything that can readily be checked, or which has no political implications, is probably accurate. Anything with political implications, tho - well, best you check to see if your wallet is still in place.
Indeed.
