Snopes falsely says it’s a “total falsehood” that Black Lives protestors didn't block ambulance

Snopes falsely says it’s a “total falsehood” that Black Lives Matter protestors in Memphis, Tennessee, caused a child to delay getting emergency medical care

According to this report from WREG, this report from WMC, this report from WIS, and this report from NBC, on July 11, 2016, in Memphis, Tennessee, Black Lives Matter protestors blocked an ambulance that was trying to get to a child, after the same Black Lives Matter protestors had blocked the same child’s parents’ car from taking him to the hospital.

However, despite all of this evidence from multiple reliable sources, snopes claims that the incident is a “total falsehood.”

How did snopes manage to do this? By adding on false information to the original story, such as the false claim that the child needed a “heart transplant,” as well as the false claim that the child had “expired.” Those claims were, indeed, false. But no reliable source ever made those claims in the first place.

For snopes to label the entire incident as a “total falsehood” is to say that the entire incident never happened. And that claim by snopes is the real falsehood.

Oops! My fault! It should have been a double negative, not a triple one. However, the full title in the actual article is correct.

Followed closely behind by “conservatives” willing to believe Big Media headlines without question, especially when not DIRECTLY related to politics.

And have you watched movies or television shows lately? They all come with big heapin helpings of propaganda woven into the storyline.

It’s ending this week, but if you get a chance, try and catch Containment. It’s almost laughable how over the top all the PC is . . .

I cannot abide modern shows. Every other moment that are trying to shove some sort of Homo message in our face, and in between those times they are trying to shovel socialism, anti-capitalism, anti-gun, anti-free speech, and anti everything else that matters.

Oh, and "Global Warming" Crap.

Is that really true?

I notice that snopes discounts most theories about the Clintons.

Not that we don’t know the answer already, but has their EVER BEEN a significant issue they’ve addressed when they came out on our side?

...and my point there is that if they were really UNBIASED, then they should be coming down roughly equally on both sides of the political spectrum.

Snopes is a lying leftist propaganda outlet. Leftists use it as a “source” to rebut conservatives; that’s what it was created for
