Yes, the joys of marriage.
I still use Snopes a lot. The fact the guy plagiarized news articles without credit isn't too cool, and as a journalist, I find that despicable. BUT...it has little to do with the general premise of Snopes -- to ferret out whether something is false, true or some of both, IMO.
Lie once..always a liar
The only proven 'lie' was having his name on someone else's article.
Liars are thieves....thieves of the truth.
Yup.
Sounds a lot like every news/media outlet on the planet, including the revered Fox News.
Sure enough- Fox leans right. NYT leans left. And on and on. And everybody knows it. The problem with Snopes, for me, is they purport to be a fact checking site. I suppose I am naïve, but I always hoped "fact checking" sites didn't lean one direction. If they do, their objectivity is highly questionable. Once Snopes decided to fact check right leaning satire (e.g. Babylon Bee), I was settled on not trusting them as fact checkers any longer. There is only one reason to do that, and it has nothing to do with checking facts. Just another media site with an agenda. Which is fine, if they are honest about it.Sounds a lot like every news/media outlet on the planet, including the revered Fox News.
There are enough sources to cross reference most things. Trust but verify. Archie probably said it best...
