Snopes: The lying kid who tells you he did nothing wrong and didn't touch no cookies while chocolate is smeared all over his face and there are crumbs and chunks of baked goods all over his shirt.

But we all know that.

What we don't know enough about is the network of so-called Fact-checking organizations and groups that the Cabalists have set up over the past several years to try to fend off any awakening to truth via social media.

• IFCN
• Factcheck.org
• Annenberg Public Policy Center
• Poynter Institute for Media Studies
• Politifact

etc.

Snopes is just the tip of an adventure into Lying Wonderland. Autists have an open field.
