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.”

Snopes is Sorros funded.
It has been a constant source of Obama disinformation.
Maybe Trump can play Rope-a-Snope.
It’s not a myth buster. It’s an anti Christian propoganda website.
You’re right.
A lot of what Snope’s debunks is because they can not find any proof to validate, and I often times think it is because they purposely do not look in the first place.
Last I heard, Snopes is a married liberal couple with an agenda themselves.
I find Snopes useful to identify internet hoaxes, but it is unreliable as to any issue with a political angle. They definitely tilt left.
Snopes are two extreme left-wing liberals that lie when liberals are facing exposure.
Exactly! It’s hard to prove a negative!
Add Soros money to the mix and it’s just another media disinformation machine.
*SPIT*
Who’s going to Snopes Snopes?
Why should there be. God was absent also.
Lies, damned lies, and Snopes.
You know what they say, absence of evidence isn’t evidence of absence.
Well DUH ... it is Snopes ... it is what they get paid to do.
They must be really good since they were able to solve every murder associated with the clintonistas.

Snopes caught lying? Who’d thunk it?
snoops needs to be called out on there lying for political reasons...
So is that called Lying about Lying?
That should make Hillary giggle.
Tis a bold-face lie there are no American flags at the DNC! There plenty of them...being burned in the parking lot.
Maybe Snopes should fact-check this:
The DNC had no flags for the stage, so they took them from the Capitol Building in Philadelphia. (cheap bastards wouldn’t go out and buy some American Flags).
