‘Fact checker’ Snopes gets key facts wrong on Ocasio-Cortez campaign finance scandal
Liberty Unyielding ^ | March 9, 2019 | Daily Caller News Foundation

The left-leaning fact-checking website Snopes butchered facts about a PAC controlled by Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her top aide in a story published Thursday.

Ocasio-Cortez and Saikat Chakrabarti, her former campaign chair and current chief of staff, obtained majority control of Justice Democrats in December 2017. The PAC, which had raised more than $1.8 million before her June 2018 primary, has been widely credited with manufacturing her upset victory over incumbent Democrat Joe Crowley.

Snopes writer Dan MacGuill falsely claimed in his story that Chakrabarti, who served as executive director of Justice Democrats, “was not an official agent or officer” of the PAC. He also failed to acknowledge the fact that Chakrabarti and Ocasio-Cortez are members of the PAC’s three-member board of directors, according to archived versions of the Justice Democrats website and corporate filings obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation.

Thanks E. Pluribus Unum. But cut Snopes some slack -- it exists as just one more shill for the DNC, and regurgitates DNC talking points as good as any of the other partisan media shills.

Take from someone who has been an ACTUAL journalist for decades in broadcast—Snopes is a left wing shill.
