## Snopes is Bullshit

Post by drawscore » Tue Feb 02, 2016 1:11 pm

The people who run Snopes.com, an internet "fact checking" site, are under investigation, and have been detained by law enforcement. I wouldn't believe a damn thing they say about anything.

It says at the bottom of the article its satire.

In the world of drawscore, whether something is factually true or not is secondary at best.

Of course it's satire. But I have to do something every now and then, to get the liberals' panties in a wad. Their rants are amusing. And, if so many liberals rise to Snopes' defense, then there must be a smidgen of accuracy to the claim of Snopes' left leaning bias. It is said that the one who shouts the loudest, has the most to hide.
Still, behind even the most outrageous satire, there are elements of truth. Snopes IS run out of California, and IS run by the Mikkelsons. It has been accused of liberal bias, which, not surprisingly, was debunked by FactCheck, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, and is funded primarily by the (left leaning) Annenberg Foundation.

Except no one is ranting. You fell for it and now you're trying the puppetmaster defense. Sad, really.

The only people who accuse Snopes of being biased one way or another are people telling the outright lies and distortion they debunk. As usual, they try to discredit anyone who breaks from the agenda they're trying to push instead of arguing against the points they make. Those of us in what the Bush Administration called "the reality-based community" see right through it.

Would you two stop the political BS?! You post nothing on this site except inflammatory, usually beyond factless, insults about other posters or their political views. I already have my suspicions about these arguments you two have, though I haven't had the time to confirm them. If this particular thread doesn't gain civility, I am shutting it down for the sanity of the site. Consider this an informal warning.

Show me where I'm uncivil. Personally, I don't think anyone could give a shit if you kill this thread.

Eff it. I have never even heard of Snopes and was finding this conversation fascinating at first, but i agree with AlexUSA that this is getting unnecessarily nasty and so am shutting this thread down myself.
