so the proportion of fake news is higher too

but relatively is the same

You said the top most "engaged" sites

Were mostly opinion or activist blogs

For the left leaning sites

What are your thoughts on Snopes? @Timcast

I'll tell you mine.

Its okay for actual myths.

but very biased for anything remotely political

Biased as shit, and yet for SOME REASON people think they're the sole fair minded people around.

"CHECK WITH SNOPES. THE GODS OF BALANCE"

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

Its decent for those simple trivia persuits.

but disregard anything, anything political

Yes.

I keep getting pointed to there

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

"SEE? SNOPES SAYS YOU'RE BULLSHITTING ME"

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

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

I never used that fucking site.

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

Cause it sounds right up their alley.

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

snopes is trash

🙏

they take questions like

"Is the government turning frogs gay?"

FALSE

and yer liike

uhhh a good fact checking site would be like

They love meteor smashing the little softball versions of questions.

"Is there a chemical that can make frogs gay"

"Yes, atrazine, though Jones is being hyperbolic"

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

"Atrazine disrupts frog endocrine systems making them female"

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."

Theres a literal vid

I wish I could say Snopes were like Armond White.

Where he admits he helped nazis catch jews

But Armond White is Opposite Day Critic.
