As opposed to direct factual falsehoods, Snopes tends to lie by omission or false implication, they give conclusions that are unsupported by the stated facts, and they create strawmen arguments for positions they oppose so they can reach the desired outcome. E.g., they could say that Senator Tom Coburn has never denied killing JonBenet Ramsey (true) so they have to label that rumor “Undetermined.”
