Snopes is fake news

Snopes is paid by Facebook to push "propaganda," according to the former managing editor of the "fact-checker," who claims the social media giant "doesn't care" about facts and is using journalists to promote an agenda so it can "pass the buck."

According to a bombshell report by the Guardian, several current and former Facebook fact-checkers have stepped forward and spoken out to reveal their distrust in the social network and their fact-checking employers.

Facebook has fact-checking partnerships with Snopes, PolitiFact, Factcheck.org, the Weekly Standard, and Associated Press, and uses the information provided by these organizations to reduce the reach of posts that are "debunked" in their News Feed. The partnering with these fact-checkers has come under heavy criticism, mainly due to the almost-monopolized influence news on Facebook has, which is then being filtered out by unregulated individuals who are often financially motivated and express political bias.

Re: Snopes is fake news

All these fact checking sites are run by radical leftists, and they tilt their "fact checking" accordingly. For example, if a conservative/Republican says anything wrong, they get lambasted and roasted for it. If a leftist/Democrat says anything wrong, they'll try to excuse it by either telling how they corrected themselves or by explaining what they "meant" by it. Very rarely (if ever) will they flat out roast a leftist for a wrong statement.

It's pretty well known that Snopes is very liberal leaning. It also gets a lot of its "facts" wrong or misleads people.
