Devin Patrick Kelley is the evil scumbag thug who murdered 26 people at the First Baptist Church in Sutherland Springs, Texas.
According to the New York Times and CNN, Kelley was an atheist.
However, snopes writes:
Claim: The Texas church shooter was an atheist and was also on the payroll of the Democratic National Committee.
Rating: False
In math, logic, and computer science, (TRUE and FALSE) = FALSE.
However, in journalism, the two statements must be judged separately.
It is indeed false to say that Kelley was on the DNC payroll.
But it is true to say that he was an atheist.
Shame on snopes for treating this as if it were a problem in math, logic, or computer science, instead of treating each claim separately.
Here are some other things I’ve written about snopes’s false claims:
Snopes falsely says the reason that Sweden recently banned Christmas lights on street poles is because of safety concerns
Snopes falsely says its a total falsehood that Black Lives Matter protestors in Memphis, Tennessee, caused a child to delay getting emergency medical care
Snopes falsely says, The Obama administration didnt sue on behalf of Muslim truck drivers who refused to transport alcohol.
Here’s a hint: The cat is the brains of the outfit.
If I had a dime for every time someone on this forum tried to correct for something I wrote as being false “according to snopes,” I’d have me at least two $25 Starbucks gift cards.
Snopes is Fake News
Google and Facebook are in the processing of contracting out their “fact checking” to Snopes and a couple of other leftwing sites.
“As Google has come under fire for perpetuating the spread of baseless, harmful stories (like Holocaust denial articles and racist rants, among other problematic search results), the new tool appears to be Googles attempt to navigate that line of information ethics.
The new feature is programmed to provide links to real media fact-checkers like Snopes and Politifact, next to stories it labels iffy.”
I wish whoever claimed the killer was on the DNC payroll would have kept his mouth shut so Snopes wouldn’t have had an out to misleadingly protect the militant atheist brand.
Thank you for posting all of your blog.
SNOPES is only in business to protect the left and their allies ,,,, fake reality I call it .
