I’m not a Snopes fan. I learned long ago that it’s nothing more than just another MoveOn.org. Liberal BS.

All of the journalistic “fact checker” sites I have seen are pure lefty propaganda pretending to be objective.

You can search for any DemocRat on snopes and any negative article will be refuted. Even when Congressman Hank Johnson said that he was afraid that putting too many people on Guam would cause it to tip over and capsize is explained away by saying that he really meant that he was afraid that too many people would cause the ecosystem to reach a tipping point that would cause irreversible damage to it.

Here is what snopes says: http://www.snopes.com/politics/quotes/guamtip.asp

And here is what Johnson said: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7XXVLKWd3Q

Yesirree, it used to be more legitimate, but now is just a liberal screed—it refuses to address any story that puts the left in a bad light.

I remember that one — Snopes claimed that he was just doing an April Fools’ Day joke. Even though it wasn’t April 1 and the live video shows Johnson is an idiot.

A local leftie letter writer uses Snopes as a source of “undeniable truth” to back up his conservative-bashing. The first time he mentioned Snopes, I knew it was a leftie propaganda tool.

yep. Snopes.com could have been a true objective reporting source. But it is really really clear it has extreme leftist leanings.

The recent article on the Registered Democrat Asian Muslim terrorist who targeted homosexuals for murder is a great example.

snopes is in the tank for Hitlery.

It is a fact that I have found very left-leaning Snopes articles on controversial topics. But they are pretty good at debunking swamp monsters and the like.

I’ll bet they don’t even believe that the Hellhound and the Chupacabra serve as slaves to the Bigfoot.

Snopes says claims that Snopes is biased are incorrect.

"Urban Legends Reference Page" is "so 2000" no one would dare cite it, unless you are HuffPo or Salon.

The only reason I ever go to Snopes is to get in the face of my Lib friends when even Snopes agrees with me.

A lot of you posters didn’t read the article (especially the ones saying “he”): I recommend it. Some of her most egregious lies and biases are shown. Everyone spread this article around.
