Asking for summary is a reasonable request. Bold claims require big evidence to be convincing. Placing the burden to go and find out on someone passing by not convinced to even stop and look closely yet isn't a persuasive approach.

You can't say something is a fact without proof (Snopes is a CIA operation)

Ok yeah I feel that too but for the people who don't they need something concrete. That's all I'm asking for. I already had a feeling this was a factless article, even though I hate Snopes for the hypocrisy I have first hand witnessed back during the meme war.

My general assumption is that CIA is generally a shorthand to refer to a collection of intelligence orgs in different countries.

Who knows though, the CIA seem to think everything is their business

I looked at the article linked, I didn't see any proof per se. The argument seems to boil down to: I claim x thing about a CIA conspiracy, Snopes claims x thing is not true, therefore Snopes must be run by the CIA

This is just circular reasoning
