If you want to trust a website that can be bought off...then keep on "trusting" Snopes.

^ Ya, I have a hard time trusting people who's sole desire is to be in a position of power.

... pretty much any elected official.

Any website which lays out its arguments and provides evidence which can be double checked is at least a step in the right direction. Everyone should naturally be checking if the arguments being made are supported by evidence... whether the evidence is actually evidence of the argument.. and then whether the evidence is correct.

Snopes allows that independent verification.

How is the Clinton Foundation working out of late?

Hear the cash has dried up since influence is no longer being pedaled.

It's still going, although they've scaled back their CGI branch. If you want to donate here you go:

Mythbusting website Snopes got caught pushing a misleading fact-check that offered cover for Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison and Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who remained seated during the second standing ovation for Carryn Owens, the widow of deceased Navy SEAL Ryan Owens.

First, the facts.

Carryn Owens received two standing ovations during President Trump’s address to Congress Tuesday night. It was during the second, longer ovation (which lasted for a full two minutes) that Ellison and Wasserman Schultz remained seated.

Sobbing widow of slain Navy Seal receives 2 minute standing ovation.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz & Keith Ellison stay firmly seated, no claps

FOR THE RECORD: Carryn Owens had 2 ovations.
DWS & Ellison stood for her intro.
The really long, emotional 2 min one, they did not stand.

— Benny (@bennyjohnson) March 1, 2017

Snopes, which is staffed with a solid lineup of leftists, used the fact that Ellison and Wasserman Schultz stood and clapped during the first standing ovation as reason to declare it “false” that they remained seated during the second standing ovation, which they clearly did. (As John Sexton at HotAir points out, Snopes significantly revised their “fact-check” without any sort of editor’s note, contrary to journalistic standards.)

Proof that DWS & Ellison stood for the first ovation & not for the 2nd. As I clearly tweeted: Check for yourselfhttps://t.co/LraFf628HM pic.twitter.com/CIV6sOAjyU

Snopes got the facts wrong despite deploying not one but two fact-checkers to the case.


The first, Kim LaCapria, is a known leftist who has a history of struggling with the facts. The second was David Mikkelson, Snopes’ co-founder.

Snopes does this **** all the time. Clearly a circle jerk of leftist tropes that can't be trusted. If something is pro-right they either pick and chose the "facts" to report like the above example, or if that can't be had they skip the subject rather than fact check and report TRUE.

If you are a total liar, the best thing you can do is attack the fact checkers. And maybe the press too.

Any of you actually check snopes before posting articles that say snopes lied and didn't have an editor's note?

I see an editor's note... I see a full video... I see a full explanation.

Seems to me that the article above is highly misleading.
