Myth-busting website Snopes flagrantly lied about the lack of visible American flags on the first day of the Democratic Convention, claiming an image from the second day of the convention was actually from the first day in an attempt to debunk a factual story from The Daily Caller.
First, the facts. TheDC reported on Monday about the lack of visible American flags at day one of the convention. Several flags were briefly on stage for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance, at which point they were carried off stage, as the C-SPAN video for Monday clearly shows at the 35:40 mark. Even PolitiFact, which tends to lean to the left, noted that when the color guard left, so did the physical flag. After that point, the stage was devoid of any American flags for the remainder of day one.
As reported by TheDC, the DNC added flags to the stage for the second day of the convention Tuesday, July 26. That same day, Snopes writer Dan Evon wrote a fact-check article declaring it false that: No American flags were on display at the 2016 Democratic National Convention.

I caught Snopes lying years ago.
Snopes consists of 2 Leftist Activist and their fat cat.
They are just okay on non political stuff.
Unfortunately most people just look for a “true” or a “false”’ and don’t read why. When you do on the political stuff. In most instances it’s DNC spin.
You are better off doing your own research.
FactCheck is the only one I have any respectable for on political matters.
Snopes connected to librals. Already documented.
Looks like snopes just lost its reason for being.
No one should believe Snopes. They’re bought and paid for. Soros is a snake!!
I get so sick of people using it as the final word.
Isn’t Fact-finder just as biased?
Ha, I knew someone at a ‘Bible prophecy’ website who thought Snopes was good. He also believed Obama’s word that he was a Christian.
Sometimes, you’re just wasting your time.
[ It has been a constant source of 0bama disinformation. ]
Yes. Yes it has.
Snopes generally is like the Southern Poverty Law Center on justice and the Union of Concerned Scientists on global warming.
And for that matter any number of lefty organizations holding themselves out as impartial arbiters: they have a thin public veneer of credibility, but at the end of the day they are strictly agenda-driven.
Frauds, IOW—like CNN, Jake Tapper, the WSJ and all the rest who haven’t yet been outed.
The words "Snopes" and "Liars" are synonymous in my opinion.
Snopes lie? Say it ain’t so~!
I’ve found Truth or Fiction to be fair in their findings.

Why would they want to own any? They only needed them long enough to fool stupid people, after that, they don't want to look at them.
They aren't cheap bastards, they just Hate America and it's flags.
Despite what lies they've disseminated before, that right there killed any remaining veracity they might have had.
If the internet were to be diagnosed with genital herpes, one of the strains would most certainly be the ‘SNOPES’ virus.
The two pathetic libtards running that website are nothing more than Soros-bought-and-paid-for leftist mouthpieces.
Trust that Nigerian prince with the millions hidden away in storage before you put any credence into the Snopes-Snakes.
“A lot of what Snopes debunks ... “
I agree ... I often see a lot of speculations and “jumping to conclusions” based on a couple of facts that fit the left’s narrative. Snopes is ridiculous.
I think a great business case could be made for a fact checking site that’s run by people on both the left and right ... but I don’t think the media nor politicians would really like something like that growing into something reliable. 90% of them would be exposed.
I remember the Snopes early days. Liberals would tout it like the gospel truth when it came to politics.
But like you say, who fact checks the fact checkers, I never put much faith in Snopes back then and still don’t. Sucks for those libtards that got fooled, lol.
