What are we to make of Snopes? This particular quotation from their website is a partial debunking of the theory that Seth Rich died at the hands of assassins for the DNC, or for the Clintons. Their argument seems rather perfunctory and insubstantial, particularly given the hints dropped by Julian Assange . . . whom the author dismisses in Cavalier fashion. Their arguments against any conspiracy involving John Ashe seems to hold more weight. But then, the argument against any conspiracy involving Shawn Lucas is utterly lacking in substance. I am just not familiar with Snopes, until now. Who are they? How accurate do they tend to be? They seem to be rather hasty in how quickly they pour water on conspiracy theories. Can someone clue me in?

Snopes is fake. Beyond any consideration as legit.

SNOPES is a husband and wife team operating out of their kitchen.

Yeah they have the resources to be the arbiter of truth.


“One would think an entire think-tank university staff is behind Snopes.

Not so. It’s a couple — husband and wife.”

Snopes is an excellent resource. Especially for debunking internet hoaxes, as noted above. As for political bias? One would think FReepers would be in tune to it, and any enterprising fellow, FReeper or not, would make a good killing debunking Snopes. So far, nothing. That’s an indication.
