snopes.com

First of all, how are they suppose to be the end-all be-all central information source for things typically controversial or hearsay or "conspiracy theory", when the truth is likely that we just don't know the truth in many of these cases. The final straw came the other day when I looked up something knowing that it was inconclusive (but deemed as a big fat FALSE by snopes), and I could no longer ignore how this site is simply incapable of leaving their own personal bias out of these topics. This wasn't the first time I had noticed this. The fact that they throw around the term conspiracy (in any ideas going against the mainstream media) in the grade-school manner that they do, proves that they are not fit to be keepers of the truth. How about call it what it is- it's a personal opinion blog with a little research occasionally thrown in.

Mixing truth with lies just like crafty devils! The truth comes with the things that are unimportant and irrelevant to your lives, manipulating the unaware niave souls that stumble upon their influence into believing that they are a legitimate and trustworthy source and steer those same people the wrong direction when it comes to issues and rumors that matter. That's where they spin their lies like bosses of deception. If you like your b. S. sugar-coated by all means grab a big helping of Snopes.com. Soros money has a big part to play in this snake oil source. "Fact checkers" of fake news are they? Snopes is fake new. They're right there with CNN and the rest. Boycott and rebuke their misinformation campaign. When you hear someone refer to Snopes then shout FAKE NEWS.

They used to be good and investigate. But when now they say that the vaccine ban in europe was false regarding the rotavirus (I was in France, it was literally in every single media outlet: the rotavirus being banned because it was proven to kil toddlers), when they say the dansing israelis is false because "muh racism" when several news outlet reported it and it's an absolute fact, they made themselves not reliable anymore.
I can't believe they didn't fact check these issues. What I believe tho, is that they hide truths when they think the truth could have a negative outcome.
They couldn't care less about the truth, they say what is false is true and what is true is false, if they think it can make things better.
They're not any better than the fake stories they pretend to fight.
Search a controversial fact that you know to be truth and witness for yourself: they are not reliable.

Snopes.com is the first place I look when my MIL or aunt forward me multicolored, badly formatted email rants/poems/quotes. They have saved me from looking foolish several times, when I was lucky enough to think of checking Snopes before passing along some sketchy information. The site is well-written, with an old school design, easy to navigate, and they've proved themselves worthy of being the internet's official "stamp of approval" on urban legends and rumors.

I honestly can't rate it reliable... I was directed to snopes for the very first time when I was conducting research on the credibility of a certain local enterprise. The info labelled as "fact" by snopes looked like it came directly from the public relations department of the company in question, and the "facts" provided I KNOW FOR A FACT are false. This is based on my personal experience.
So snopes does have a bias towards certain entities. Therefore I have to take the rest of their "facts" at face value.

Just went to an article they have in relation to the 27 year old DNC director of data being shot dead (and wikileaks offering 20k for info on the murderers) and i found their article contains the infantile term: "conspiracy theory" SEVEN times and the word 'conspiracy' on its own, a further 3 times... Childish nonsense

To say that this first ever visit to snopes.com diminishes their credibility in my eyes is a gross understatement. Not going to waste my time on that site again.

Horrible source for anything but DNC propaganda, 1 star is overstating its credibility. They started their website 'Snopes' about 13 years ago. After a few years it began gaining popularity as people believed it to be unbiased and neutral. But over the past couple of years people started asking questions when 'Snopes' was proven wrong in a number of their conclusions. There were also criticisms the Mikkelsons were not really investigating and getting to the 'true' bottom of various issues, but rather asserting their beliefs in controversial issues

With a resource such as this one available, you really have to wonder how so many people can believe so much of the unmitigated BS they receive in their email boxes.
This site lets us sort out the facts from the crap with a couple of clicks of the mouse. I wish ALL of my email correspondents would make a habit of using it BEFORE they send me the fundamentally stupid and totally inaccurate propaganda they use to advance some of their foolish beliefs.

They ae wrong on the Hillary Clinton has Muslim advisor. Huma Abedin is the daughter of parents involved with Muslim brotherhood and she has her name on publication that are easily looked up and show her name as well as known people involved with blind Shiek who has been in jail in US for years for terrorist acts. She may be completely pro- American, but the ties are definitely there and the American people should be aware of this. Snopes ignores this completely. Many times they are good, but their politics gets in the way at times. Especially during election years? Perhaps?
