SNOPES throws in the towel with Facebook “fact checking” after being caught fabricating LIES and covering for fake news media
[snip]

(Natural News) Snopes has announced that it is giving up “fact checking” for Facebook as controversy swirls over its handling of the Nathan Phillips case and other high-profile blunders.

Of course, that’s not the official reason they’re throwing in the towel. In a statement, they cited limited resources as their primary motivation, saying that manually flagging false info was simply too big of a task for its team of 16 people.

The site partnered with Facebook in December 2016 on the pretense of cracking down on fake news like that seen during the presidential election of that year; they made $100,000 for their efforts last year. Facebook uses Snopes’ fact checks to change how its algorithm presents stories to users.

Two former workers of Snopes, ex-Managing Editor Brooke Binkowski and ex-Fact Checker Kim La Capria, told The Guardian that they got the impression the company did not care about its fact checking partners.

Binkowski said: “They’ve essentially used us for crisis PR. They’re not taking anything seriously. They are more interested in making themselves look good and passing the buck… They clearly don’t care.”

String of high-profile incidents highlights incompetence of “fact checkers”

Snopes has been caught in a few unflattering incidents recently. In one high-profile case, they blatantly lied about an American Indian activist named Nathan Phillips. Phillips was thrust in the spotlight after a confrontation between himself and some high school boys went viral. It was said that the boys mobbed him and harassed him when he tried to leave the Indigenous People’s March, even though video evidence shows otherwise.

Snopes was discredited as the frauds they are for years many times over! They're not some team of professional researchers; they're a husband/wife extreme leftist team who arbitrarily determine whether or not something is true without even listing their sources! And they've been on the verge of bankruptcy for years because the husband keeps spending all their money on coke and hookers.....how's that for Snopes credibility?

What is most interesting is that David P. Mikkelson, the owner of Snopes has been outed as just another member of the tribe that may not be named.

Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running.

Used by the Founders...
Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives”
reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to
its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in
the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by
the children of the citizens
, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all
their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel

Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day...
America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments...
1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year.
2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges.
3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set.
4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit.

Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates.

Democrats are a WMD, literally.

As an internet veteran (online since about 1990), I'm kind of miffed at the calls for automated or outsourced fact-checking. It's just silly.

How do you know the fact-checker you outsourced your brain to is any more credible than the news sites you want to have vetted? You don't.

Want to know if you can trust something? Do your frigging own research and draw your own conclusions. That's why you've got your brain in the first place. Use it!

Natural News is highly credible and has been for years.

Snopes is run by a couple of radical leftist females. They probably got out of the game because legislation is coming that will punish journalists for intentional deception as a form of treason.

Not only has Snopes been a disinformation C_IA mouth piece since the very beginning, they are too stupid to balance it out with some truth. They have spouted only lies and when you do that, even the dumbest among society can see what they’re up to.

They should be investigated for conspiracy against the Republic. The punishment for high treason is death.

Well, there's an article debunking every reply here but GLP won't let me link to Snopes dot com

(That's a a joke for you morons who won't get it)

My eyes went buggy last week when I went to read their article about Hillary blackface and found one of the pictures they used might have cleared Old Hills but it dang near proved the guy was Bill. It floored me because I never would have guessed that unless I saw some other contemporaneous photos of them.

Funny stuff.

Others chose the Dark Side and fight for an entity that views them with disdain and discards them.

Snopes is the worst. The people at Snopes are the lowest moral characters, the founder divorced his wife to be with a hooker.

They are liars, they try to intimidate people who point out their lies and they are doing everything they can to ruin people through disinfo.

Snopes has the same credibility as Onion. Half the time, their shit is just as funny as Onion's satire.
I'd rather be real and rejected than fake and accepted.

Individualism is the logical conclusion of rational political/social opinions. Leftism is the absence of any.
