Great article! I've never seen this before.

Thanks.

"does anyone know any other "myth debunking" sites?"

You are on one of those sites right now.

Myths don't last very long, here on FR! Our fellow FReepers are the BEST at wading through the daily 'stack of stuff' and finding the real facts.

Extreemly good point.

Apparently this thread needs an occasional bump, seems to be a good number of people who still aren't aware of Snopes.com's liberal bias.

My wife is a "never wrong"; I'm an "always right".

I'll struggle to make things right, even though that means being "wrong", or being perceived as "wrong". That last is the rub. The struggle for right is not always pretty, and to most "ugly" always seems wrong.

So it's a merit to her that's she's never wrong, and perhaps a demerit to me that I'll accept more abuse and rawness to learn the truth or to right something than a person should take. And she, by being "never wrong" -- a genuine Queen, the princess who was bothered by the pea -- forces me to package up myself and my communications in a pleasant way.

And when my delivery is unpleasant, even honest bad news, delivered without the greatest care, timing and gentIeness, I am held to account for that, and I should be.

Agreed. Bump

Thanks, bump

[AnnaZ]

If FR had a "quick search" dictionary, this would have to be an entry. I appreciate, therefore I BUMP.

[Rightone]

I'm glad to have read this article -- BUMP.

[mabelkitty]

Good one.
I've stopped using them two years ago.

Bookmarked and bumped.

[JohnnyP]

They are Clinton lovers. Mr. KABC, who bills himself as "the logical liberal", has them on his stupid show all the time.

[CharlieOK1]

bump! I've always felt this, but never spoke up when Freepers quote them like they are the final authority.

. . .bump/update on Snopes.

(Was checking some Obama 'factoids' and was amazed at the obvious bias here. Not the first time, Liberal persuasions noted; but thought I would 'bump' and remind; and see if others have updated experiences here re snopes.

(If nothing else; a good reminder. . .it is frustrating to have someone say. . .of course, Obama was a Professor of Constitutional Law or 'whatever'; just check Snopes!) Worse to see Snopes confirm 'lies(?)misstatements of fact put forth by Obama in his autobiographies. . .confirmed by using same book(s) to make their point. . .

bumpity bump

Not sure what a bump does but it’s been a while since there was one....

I learned sometime ago to just skip snopes. I found some of their so called Urban Legends were flat out wrong.

Everytime you click on their site they earn money...I am not one who has any interest in supporting haters of America.

Why do you need any organization....I realized long ago it was a worthless site...I found it to be too bias and figured they were part of the American haters of the left. Also, I am not interested in supporting them...everytime you click on their site they make money.

You can easily find what is real and just bs by doing your own searches. I've been doing that for a very long time.
