Snopes is incorrect like the MSM is incorrect. Technically they may be not be lying, but by omission, choice of terms, etc there’s a definitely leftward spin on the political stuff they ‘fact check’.

And I find it funny that practically no one can establish that Snopes is "incorrect," instead complaining about its bias.

A fake email is just that . . . and to determine it, that's why people go to Snopes. If you disagree with why Snopes claims it is fake, that's fine . . . it's still fake.

Yes, you can delete the account but, more importantly, you can “defriend” the people who annoy you, and they won’t know it.

Only accept “friend” requests from people you actually know. Facebook is a great tool when used responsibly but can easily be misused like anything else.

Great way to keep in touch with family and friends who live far away.

And I find it funny that a site purporting to be an arbiter of the truth would have any kind of bias.

People using FACEBOOK to post personal stuff are simply targeting THEMSELVES! Dump FaceBook, why do you feel the need to post all your personal information for the world to see? (I’d expect this from Obama, but not YOU!) [collective “you” intended]

Get off Facebook, it is stupid and so many people’s legal cases implode because of stupid idiocy they post on Facebook

You got that right! I'm hoping it will help us in a lawsuit. Stupid woman left her facebook page WIDE OPEN for us, and that's all I'm going to say.

I have a similar sister and some idiot friends.

When they post something annoying I go to the clickable arrow at the top right of their post and select “I don’t want to see this.” That takes it off my newsfeed and makes me feel like I slapped their stupidity.

(Same little arrow allows you the choice to “unfollow” someone.)

The constitution gives private entrepreneurs their rights to do what they like(no don’t ask SCOTUS those bastages are compromised). My sense of my own personal freedoms would caution me to not work for someone who would ask me that.

Nor would I keep a doctor who asked me about my guns. I would leave after telling him to ‘heal thyself’.

I’m sure you don’t count that a big loss. I know I certainly wouldn’t give it another thought. My most prolific lib Facebooker is on a jag of using Bernie Sanders quotes. I let some pass without comment but never fail to use “commie” when I do respond to a Sanders quote.

Again, and internet rumor is just that, an internet rumor. You see one posted here every few weeks. On the last one, I had a conversation that essentially went like this:

A: Uh, Snopes says it's fake.
B: Snopes is biased.
A: Uh, but it's still fake.
B: What difference does it make?

That sort of stuff never fails to crack me up.

“I am pretty much resigned to the fact that eventually, my employer and my family will eventually have access to all that I’ve ever said here over the past 17 years.”

Just about everyone that’s ever spent ANY time around me has heard it ALL.

“Snopes is an excellent resource, and rarely incorrect.”

Snopes put out 462 articles in support of Hussein TODAY.

Many times, they will “debunk” something their god actually said by changing a word or two of it and then chastise anyone for actually believing it.

That all being said, they are an “excellent resource” for debunking stupid emails and rumors that the average person who doesn’t have their face planted far up Hussein’s posterior ought to know are stupid emails and rumors anyway.

My source: Search snopes.com for “Obama” and scroll through the “Next 100” references to the end.
