Is that what Snopes really said? Snopes says TRUE
Snopes I just found out a few weeks ago run by a liberal husband and wife!
email on Snopes
There are so many citizens getting involved in civic affairs and a wealth of information streaming in. When I get emails making claims or supposedly breaking news, I have to pause and try to check the sources, or go to a fact checker site. You just type in the info in a question format. The best known are:
www.snopes.com
www.cbo.gov
www.factcheck.com
www.ask.com
I feel that I have detected a bias in snopes especially. While checking snopes for the basis of quotes made by President Obama, snopes gave approximately a paragraph to explain each sentence that was uttered by Obama. Words mean things !! It should not take a paragraph to explain a simple quote.
Therefore I feel that there is a leftist bias to these sites. However, I have to add, that when I have checked some of the outlandish emails that I have received, the fact checking sites have saved me a lot of the embarrassment of sending on inaccurate information. So I send this email FYI...
