Nolte: Snopes Announces It Will Now Fight Trump Using ‘Feelings’ and ‘Emotion’
Breitbart ^ | 11 Oct 2019 | John Nolte

Posted on 10/12/2019 11:08:52 AM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

Just like he did with far-left CNN, President Trump has just forced the phony, left-wing fact check site Snopes to throw out every standard of professional journalism. In a stunning admission (of what we already knew), Snopes announced Thursday that Trump and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are such a unique threat to world that “experts must find new ways to reach people.” Which means that — get this — Trump and Johnson must be “countered by the shared stories, experiences and emotions of real people and how they are affected by the big global issues.”

“Public austerity measures, for example, are not simply about financial facts,” Snopes mewls. “Indeed, when presented merely as economic data, many people can neither identify with nor understand them. Instead, austerity poses problems that compel us to examine how they affect people and families in their daily lives. The experiences of those individuals must be shared.”

Snopes is promising to get just as ridiculous with other left-wing causes, specifically when it comes to stopping Brexit and furthering the Global Warming Hoax:

Whether examining Brexit, public austerity measures or the effects of climate change, one limitation is that facts and data generated through quantitative social research are presented as if detached from the people they concern as well as those involved in their production. Far removed from people’s lived experiences, they risk displacing any sense of what it is to be human. As such, they are, perhaps, too easy to dismiss.

This is actually good news. The mask is now removed forever.

Is that an admission that old-fashioned “facts”, “evidence”, “logic”, “due process” and “fairness” are all on Trump’s side?

"During the divorce Barbra Mikkelson’s court filing alleged that her former husband and founder of Snopes had embezzled $98K from the company and spent it on himself and the services of prostitutes. Apparently Mr. Mikkelson, was attracted to a lady by the name of Ebyssa Young, a former Libertarian candidate for congress in Hawaii."

don’t blame you- i knew they leaned left- but i had no idea he was that radically anti-New testament (and I assume Anti-Christian, as if he rejects new testament, he likely rejects Christ too)

Democrat media in a panic... nothing has worked. Impeachment has only made Trump MORE popular!

Morons should stop digging but they won’t. Stick another notch into the President’s re-election!

If they do actually impeach him and the Senate convicts he’ll win 49 states.

— Trump and Johnson must be “countered by the shared stories, experiences and emotions

Emotionalism is a form of irrationalism. Emotions are not a means of knowledge. They are the result of value judgments.

Here that, Snopes?

That faint, fluttering noise is your very last shred of credibility flying away.

I guess facts, logic and reason haven’t helped the Democrats so its onto insults, name calling and throwing temper tantrums.

Good call on Snopes’ part!

Snopes has never been on the side of truth.
