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.
I agree to some extent. Snopes is far from perfect and a liberal bias in some (well a lot) of their editorial content related to politics is evident, but they do a good job of debunking internet hoaxes and exposing fake news sites. I don’t use them as a sole or primary source but as a way of further researching a story that appears to be a hoax or greatly exaggerated or coming from dubious sources.
Here is a link to the Snopes article on Seth Rich.

To be honest, the conspiracy theories regarding Rich’s death never passed my smell meter even before I read the Snopes article. For one thing, contrary to what WhatDoesItMean.com / Sorcha Faal claimed, Rich was hardly a "top" DNC "official".
WhatDoesItMean.com / Sorcha Faal is so outrageous and wacky that even other wacky conspiracy leaning sites like Before It's News and Above Top Secret have disavowed him and questioned his credibility.
Just for some balance, here are some Snopes articles that have debunked rumors or false news stories related to Trump.

If Snopes was totally in the bag for and only propagating liberal disinformation, why would they debunk false rumors and fake stories about Trump?
