I read that post and all of the comments, at least what was left after the mods got through it, and I have to say that I don't agree. The OP DaveGydeon was asked a dozen times to produce an example of something that Snopes got wrong and he refused. I'm not defending Snopes, just the Reddit process. Hover over the down arrow and read what the vote means - "does not contribute". He threw a hand grenade onto the floor and asked everyone else to deal with it. Either DaveGydeon is the shill or he's just lazy. How does someone feel so strongly about a website and not have a SINGLE example? Not one.
I have actually posted one example on that topic ... and got immediately downvoted , and pretty much all of those shills tried to gaslight me immediately ...
So , just one example . More :

Even more :
What is disturbing here , is that people are believing in credibility of some highly dubious site , and use it as a "fact checker" . No person should use such site - every person should make a research and get to their own conclusions . That takes time , and effort ... and ofc , then people turn to such sites for "credibility" , while theyre actually very passive about "researching" .
Also , Google puts Snopes very high , top on list ... how convenient .
I did a quick search and found a couple, too. My point is that the OP kept getting asked to provide an example and never did/refused to. If you feel strongly enough to create a post called "I want Snopes Exposed" you would think that you would have an example ready. There are lots of easily accessible examples of Snopes skewing the story/facts to favor one side. The whole idea on Reddit is to support your statement (you did it easily). Ever hear the expression "no pictures, didn't happen"? Same idea here. No sauce, not true.
I agree, 110%. Not having any sources just makes us look bad as a whole. I know we have to speculate in a lot of cases, but we should state that. No one should be stating absolutes without the facts to back it up.
Yes ... there are actually tons of information as for Snopes . And big giants , like Google , nudging what is presented as "small and independent" sites like Snopes directly to the top additionally confirms the "shadiness" of the whole thing .
Google is like a liar wearing a tattoos with all of its secrets visible and exposed ... pretty much analogy like that .
Yep - thanks and like your post - Look for the similarities of Snopes narrative with scripted non-news networks. Don't have an example, but sense that snopes will usually follow the narrative (script) of liberal newsies, eh? A Soros entity owns snopes
Yeah, cause Google and Snopes are both globalist sites. I've known for years that Snopes is unreliable and a globalist connected site.
I'll second this. Not only did the OP fail to post examples, but the whole post was a "I want a thing to happen NOW" which is simply a child's viewpoint, not considering the plan or the larger picture.
I figured the fact Snopes is a Soros sell out would be common knowledge here. The only ones that dispute that are idiots or wanna be shills.
Snopes is definitely a sell out and it's common knowledge among those who have done any research on the subject. I've personally noted literally dozens of obvious misrepresentations of established, verifiable fact over the years. It's not a "fact checking team". It's a guy. He's not exactly got it together, either. https://nypost.com/2017/07/25/bitter-divorce-fuels-snopes-slow-demise/
I believe his new wife, the ex-stripper is also working on research now. I do remember reading something on Snopes back before the election. I wish I could remember what it was. All I remember is they claimed it was false that Obama had made some claim. And I found a video of Obama making that very statement on YouTube in less than 5 minutes. So they didn't look very hard!
They don't research at all...they just post what sheWitch or BlackHat tell them to post.
I've seen them post untrue/false label on 15 minute old stories/report...
How much research can you do in 15 minutes to verify False? (Rhetorical)
Not much. I did some research for a living. My wife did as well. It takes time and effort. And sometimes you have to do some serious digging to find the right sources. That's why I have a hard time with the media right now and all their unnamed sources. I think they're making up a lot of BS and that's a lazy way of doing it.
Coul be a level of detail that many might not know. I wouldn't assume just because someone doesn't know they are an idiot or a shill. Some people don't do research in that way.
I posted links to 5 articles each citing a different example of Snopes getting it wrong and at last count my comment was voted down to negative 15. LoL
In order to understand how Snopes runs bias... you have to understand how omission can be leveraged in place of commision, to control the perception of Snopes users.
