    We all knew it - SNOPES is left wing biased......

    Anyone who has used SNOPES has noticed how they soft pedal ANY 'damaging' story about Liberals to be 'Mixed" or "Partially false" but slam Conservative stories as patently FALSE or TRUE depending on whether it helps or hurts that side.

    A story by the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group recounted how “millions of Department of State tax dollars were sent to a charity created by Secretary of State John Kerry’s daughter,” and the fact checking website, Snopes.com heavily doctored the story to protect Kerry.

    I gave up on them about two or three years ago when it became apparent that they were smoothing things over for anything King Barack did, and slamming anything republican.

    Sad that almost nothing can be trusted anymore from the US news media. Lately if I want news, I go to BBC , but still take what they say with a grain of salt.

    I'll use SNOPES for stories that have NO political bias, like sex scandals of celebrities, or medical freakshows, or bigfoot sightings or plane crash videos or myths about buried bodies, etc. they're useful for that.

    But their credibility for ANYTHING political is pretty much SHOT TO HELL....

    Yeah, I learned not to trust them 8 years ago. I use these as well.
