Snopes is kind to Senator Hussein

A google search for snopes site:freerepublic.com shows that this is not the first FR thread to doubt Snopes.

• De-bunking Snopes: the John Kerry Record:

  Snopes attempts to cast John Kerry's egregious anti-Military voting record in a positive light.

• Snopes' bias, Part II:

  "The credibility that they've established is based on the laziness of reporters who have used them as a source."

• I no longer trust Snopes... and neither should you:

  if any of y'all have other examples of Snopes having a slant, please let me know!

• Autodesk's founder reports gross errors by Limbaugh, CNN, Snopes (Remember "Columbia's Last Photo?"):

  Hooray! Hooray! Trashes properly those PC jakes at Snopes!

  I've visited the Snopes site several times over the last few years, generally from links in mail and news discussions and, while there's nothing explicitly bogus about the site, there's something about the tone which I've found consistently off-putting. It's reminiscent of the too-smug, overly-glib style of the Skeptical Inquirer which caused me to let my subscription lapse in the early 80's and, perhaps, set in motion my long migration from CSICOP to Psi-perp.

  Unlike NASA, [SNOPES] did not identify the source (although it had been identified on newsgroups long before Snopes posted this article), and the Snopes commentary itself contains two or three factual errors, depending on how you read it, and misses three of the most obvious things which identify the picture as not taken from Columbia.

  Snopes posts 17 truths to shove an 18th lie in the mix. (IN MY OPINION!)
  

• Is Snopes biased to the left? (vanity):

  Snopes is the most prestigious of all urban legend research sites. But is it biased to the left? Some, including yours truly, believe so. However, judge for yourself.

Thank you. I’d been telling my friends the same thing about Snopes but had no citations until now.
