"CHECK WITH SNOPES. THE GODS OF BALANCE"

2018-10-09 13:48:29 UTC  

Like you want to know where did the story of something come from?

2018-10-09 13:48:37 UTC  

Its decent for those simple trivia persuits.

2018-10-09 13:48:47 UTC  

but disregard anything, anything political

2018-10-09 13:48:51 UTC  

Yes.

2018-10-09 13:48:55 UTC  

I keep getting pointed to there

2018-10-09 13:48:58 UTC  

While I think Forbes is trash, there was a pretty good article questioning the legitamacy of Snopes.

2018-10-09 13:49:02 UTC  

"SEE? SNOPES SAYS YOU'RE BULLSHITTING ME"

2018-10-09 13:49:17 UTC  

"HILLARY DID NOTHING WRONG. SEE? SNOPES SAID SO. YOU GONNA ARGUE WITH SNOPES?"

2018-10-09 13:49:27 UTC  

It's like... When did I agree that Snopes was right?

2018-10-09 13:49:31 UTC  

I never used that fucking site.

2018-10-09 13:49:53 UTC  

Wait. You saying that Snopes claimed Hillary's email scandal was just a right wing concpiracy theory?

2018-10-09 13:50:11 UTC  

Cause it sounds right up their alley.

2018-10-09 13:50:15 UTC  

I'm paraphrasing because I forgot what these idiots I was arguing with actually said was bullshit bcuz Snopes.

2018-10-09 13:50:26 UTC  

snopes is trash

2018-10-09 13:50:30 UTC  

🙏

2018-10-09 13:50:31 UTC  

they take questions like

2018-10-09 13:50:44 UTC  

"Is the government turning frogs gay?"

2018-10-09 13:50:46 UTC  

FALSE

2018-10-09 13:50:50 UTC  

and yer liike

2018-10-09 13:50:57 UTC  

uhhh a good fact checking site would be like

2018-10-09 13:51:04 UTC  

They love meteor smashing the little softball versions of questions.

2018-10-09 13:51:06 UTC  

"Is there a chemical that can make frogs gay"

2018-10-09 13:51:21 UTC  

"Yes, atrazine, though Jones is being hyperbolic"

2018-10-09 13:51:34 UTC  

"Look at this big plump pinata. Watch how talented I am as I strike it with MY BAZOOKA BABY."

2018-10-09 13:51:40 UTC  

"Atrazine disrupts frog endocrine systems making them female"

2018-10-09 13:51:43 UTC  

I once looked up if Soros was legit a Nazi. Snopes said no and those are baseless claims. I thought,"Makes sense, since they are biased towards the left."

2018-10-09 13:52:18 UTC  

Theres a literal vid

2018-10-09 13:52:20 UTC  

I wish I could say Snopes were like Armond White.

2018-10-09 13:52:25 UTC  

Where he admits he helped nazis catch jews

2018-10-09 13:52:27 UTC  

But Armond White is Opposite Day Critic.

2018-10-09 13:52:30 UTC  

So he could take their shit

2018-10-09 13:52:46 UTC  

And Snopes will just confirm anything bad that happened for the right, and deny anything good that happened for the right.

2018-10-09 13:52:56 UTC  

So you can't even use them that way.

2018-10-09 13:52:58 UTC  

Best to avoid.

2018-10-09 13:56:09 UTC  

Then again, I can't exactly use right wing fact checkers since they might be doing the same thing as Snopes.

2018-10-09 13:56:34 UTC  

TO be honest, the validity of any and all fact checkers are to be called into question

2018-10-09 13:56:37 UTC  

Look at sources.

2018-10-09 13:56:42 UTC  

Problem is

2018-10-09 13:56:55 UTC  

We have so many fucking news sites that they all reference one another to make shit look valid

2018-10-09 13:57:49 UTC  

And we have news "sources" collaberating with one another to write copy paste hit piece articles against people they don't like.
