Those 'nutjobs' that told you they were full of it,were right back then.Conspiracy theories repeatedly are shown to be fact over time.Are you going to have to be taught that lesson yet again? |

Awwwww poor little sheeple tards got a bad memory. Remember when anyone who said the government was listening into your conversations was a tin foil hat nutjob?How did that one turn out for ya dumb ass? I have answered your question. Snopes has been wrong multiple times. About global warming... about political corruption... about big pharma.... But if you want to stay a 'useful idiot' that just accepts everything snopes says as fact be my guest. |

They delve very thoroughly into all information that can be found. Because they put all the info on the page before making a conclusion both for and against the claim. You do not have to come to the same conclusion as them. |

They are just a very liberal husband and wife who pretend to know everything, and have gotten thousands of idiots to believe them. They have been caught doing poor research, making stuff up, and outright lying when it comes to their political favorites. They are not to be trusted!!! |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26035080 Is there something I'm missing? You're missing something. Snopes actually does this thing called "fact checking." They run down the source of the rumors and hoaxes. They actually call people. And they point out the obvious. Like satire sites that people - including GLP - take seriously. |
